  • Cook at 260°F for 17 minutes.
  • Remove cooked eggs from the air fryer basket and place them in a large bowl with ice water. Keep the eggs in the ice water bath for at least 15 minutes.

  • Refrigerate immediately or gently crack eggs all over the shell then gently peel back the shell with your fingers to peel the eggs.

Notes

  • Please do not leave hard boiled eggs out at room temperature for more than 2 hours if you plan to eat them.
  • You can refrigerate your hard boiled eggs for up to 7 days.
  • Cooking time may vary with different air fryers and different amounts or sizes of eggs.
  • Your air fryer might yield slightly different results; remember to write down any recipe time adjustments you'd make so you remember next time!
  • If you prefer softer egg whites and runny yolk (soft boiled egg), set timer to cook for about 10-12 minutes. 
  • Fresh eggs are harder to peel. 
  • This recipe uses large eggs or extra large eggs. If you are using medium sized eggs you can reduce the cooking time a little.
  • These eggs are cooked at high heat so they are very hot when they finish cooking. We recommend using a slotted spoon to remove them from the basket and put them into the cold water.
