Air Fried Hard Boiled Eggs (Easy to Peel!)

The first thing to remember is that ALL air fryers heat differently, even the same brands can heat differently. This means the variation of heat may affect your temperature, so sometimes it takes some practice before you get the perfect times for different air fryers.

The recipe I’m showing you today was made in the Ninja Air Fryer.

Using a Ninja Air Fryer, these Air Fried Hard Boiled Eggs took 12 minutes. These were fully cooked hard-boiled eggs.

If you prefer soft-boiled eggs, set the cook time to 10 minutes.

The temperature for cooking hard-boiled eggs will be at a low temperature of 300 degrees F.

Tips for Making Air Fryer Hard Boiled Eggs:

It’s best to remember that this recipe was done in a preheated Air Fryer. That means that the eggs were going into a warm air fryer, if you do not preheat then it will change the cooking process.

The air fryer will be preheated for 5 minutes before placing the eggs in the air fryer.

Place the eggs directly into the air fryer basket, be sure to leave room around the sides of the egg so that hot air can circulate. Also, be sure that the fresh eggs are in a single layer.

I prefer to do 6 eggs at a time instead of all 12 at the same time.

While the eggs are cooking prepare a bowl of cold water with ice cubes for the ice water bath. This will take place immediately following the cooking time.

As soon as the air fryer cooking is complete, place the eggs directly into the ice bath for 5 minutes.

The easiest way to peel the eggs is immediately following the ice bath. The cold eggs are easier to peel than when they come to room temperature. The peeled eggs can then be used immediately or stored in the fridge.

The full instructions will be in the recipe card below.
