Ingredients
- 6 large eggs (room temperature)
- Arrange the eggs: Place the eggs carefully into your air fryer basket, making sure to leave space between each egg so that hot air can circulate evenly.
- Set the temperature: Preheat or set the air fryer to 270°F (approximately 132°C) to ensure the eggs cook at the right temperature for even doneness.
- Cook the eggs: Cook the eggs for 9 to 12 minutes based on your preferred yolk consistency. For softer yolks, cook for 9 minutes; for hard yolks, cook up to 12 minutes.
- Cool the eggs: As soon as the cooking time is over, transfer the eggs immediately into a bowl filled with ice water. Let them cool for 10 minutes to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier.
- Peel and serve: Once cooled, gently peel the eggs and enjoy as they are or use in your favorite dishes.
Notes
- Using eggs at room temperature helps prevent cracking during cooking.
- Timing may vary slightly depending on the size of your eggs and your specific air fryer model; adjust accordingly after your first trial.
- Ice water bath is essential to halt the cooking and make peeling easier.
- Do not overcrowd the basket to ensure even cooking.
- These air fryer boiled eggs can be stored peeled or unpeeled in the refrigerator for up to one week.
