Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 270°F (130°C) if your air fryer model requires preheating. This ensures even cooking of the eggs.
- Arrange the Eggs: Place the eggs directly in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Make sure to leave space between the eggs to allow proper air circulation for even cooking.
- Cook the Eggs: Cook the eggs at 270°F for 15–17 minutes depending on your preferred doneness. For fully hard-boiled eggs, cook for 17 minutes.
- Cool the Eggs: Once cooking is complete, immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl filled with ice water. Let them sit for at least 5 minutes to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier.
- Peel and Serve: Peel the cooled eggs and serve them right away, or store unpeeled in the refrigerator for up to one week for convenient meal prep.
Notes
- Cooking times may vary between different air fryer models; adjust by 1–2 minutes if needed.
- Older eggs peel much easier than very fresh eggs, which helps when peeling.
- Store unpeeled eggs in the refrigerator for up to one week for meal prep convenience.
