FAQ's

How long does it take to hard boil eggs in an air fryer?

It only takes 16 minutes to hard boil eggs in the air fryer!

Do I need to use a wire rack?

Yes, it is best to cook the eggs on a wire rack so that they cook evenly on all sides.

What size eggs can I use?

You can use large or extra-large eggs for this recipe.

How many eggs can I cook at one time?

This depends on the size of your air fryer. With a large air fryer, you can cook up to 6 eggs at a time. Just be sure to not overcrowd the air fryer basket.

What is the easiest way to peel hard boiled eggs?

There are several methods, but my favorite easy way to peel hard boiled eggs is under running water.

Things to know

  • Different air fryers cook differently so your cooking time may vary. Start with a test batch to check the cooking time for your hard-boiled eggs recipe.
  • If cooking more than 6 eggs, you will need to cook in batches.
  • The ice bath is important to prevent the eggs from overcooking, and it helps them peel better. So, don't forget your bowl of cold water to cool the eggs down quickly.
  • Because you are using hot air instead of boiling water, your eggs are less likely to crack, making these hard-boiled eggs perfect to use for Easter Eggs!
  • Be sure to place the eggs in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Do not stack the eggs in the basket, you will need to cook in batches if you have more eggs.
  • Fresh eggs are harder to peel than older eggs. Using a damp paper towel, will help get those pesky peels off easier.

Good to know 👉 Your eggs may have brown spots on them. That does not mean that the eggs are bad. It is just from the hot air!

Variations

  • Reduce the cook time by two minutes if you want a soft-boiled egg.
  • For soft-boiled eggs, cook for 10-12 minutes at 250 degrees.
  • For extra-large eggs, you may need to cook for 2 minutes longer.
  • Top the eggs with bagel seasoning for a delicious snack
  • You can also use these eggs in your favorite salads.

Storage

Refrigerate - Store the eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Freezer - You can freeze the hard-boiled eggs, but they will not be as flavorful. Store them in an airtight container for up to four months.

Reheat - To reheat, place them back in the air fryer basket and heat them on low or 250 degrees for a few minutes.
