Air Fryer Hard Boiled Eggs
It kind of blew my mind when I learned I could make hard boiled eggs in my air fryer. Sure, I knew that I could use the stovetop to make hard boiled eggs, as I would when making my grandmothers deviled eggs recipe. Then a friend let me in on this secret with the air fryer. Now I'm not sure I'll ever boil eggs in water again.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 9 eggs
Instructions
- Place the eggs in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are in a single layer and not overlapping.
- Preheat your air fryer to 245 F for about 3-5 minutes.
- Once preheated, carefully place the basket with the eggs into the air fryer.
- Cook the eggs in the air fryer at 245 F for 16 minutes.
- After 16 minutes, carefully remove the eggs from the air fryer using tongs.
- In a separate bowl, create an ice bath with water and ice cubes.
- One by one, transfer them carefully and gently to a bowl of ice water to cool for a few minutes.
- Let sit for about five minutes.
- Once cooled, peel the eggs and enjoy.
Notes
Once your air fryer hard boiled eggs are ready, you have several options for serving and storing them. For immediate consumption, simply peel and enjoy them warm.
If you won't be eating them right away, don't peel them. Instead, store your eggs in their shells and place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They'll stay fresh for up to one week. Label the container with the date you cooked them so you can keep track of when you should eat them. Then, peel the shells and enjoy.
Remember to handle your cooked eggs with clean hands to prevent contamination. If you notice any foul odors or discoloration, it's best to discard the eggs.
