Chef’s Secret
The key to perfect hard-boiled eggs in the air fryer is all about timing. Cooking eggs at 250°F for 14 minutes will result in soft-boiled eggs with runny or very soft yolks. For hard-boiled eggs with solid yolks, cook for 16-17 minutes. Cooking eggs for more than 17 minutes can result in a greenish-gray ring around the yolk, indicating that they are overcooked.
Peeling Hard Boiled Eggs
Peeling hard-boiled eggs can sometimes be a tricky and messy task, but with air fryer cooked eggs, it’s actually quite easy. After chilling the eggs in an ice bath, gently tap the eggs on a hard surface to crack the shells, then gently roll the eggs between your hand and the surface to loosen the shell. The shell should come off easily, leaving you with a perfectly cooked egg ready to enjoy.

Storage Instructions
Hard boiled eggs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week. To store them, simply place the peeled or unpeeled eggs in a covered container and keep them in the refrigerator. If you’ve left the eggs unpeeled, be sure to keep them dry and avoid stacking them on top of each other to prevent sticking. With proper storage, your hard-boiled eggs will be ready for you to enjoy any time you’re looking for a quick and satisfying snack.
Cracked shell?
If a shell cracks while cooking the eggs in the air fryer, don’t panic! The egg is still safe to eat, however, it may have a slightly different texture. Some people simply discard cracked eggs, but if you don’t want to waste it, a cracked egg will still be delicious!

I just tried making hard boiled eggs in my air fryer for the first time. 250° for 17 minutes. Put immediately in an ice bath for 10 minutes. They peeled so easily. And I cut one in half. It was perfectly done. I am so impressed. I will never do hard-boiled eggs again on the stove top. Thank you for sharing this
