Ingredients

6 eggs
1/16 teaspoon salt a pinch
1/16 teaspoon pepper a pinch

Instructions

Carefully place the eggs in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching one another. Close the air fryer basket gently to prevent the eggs from cracking.
Air fry hard-boiled eggs for 16-18 minutes, without preheating. If you have a 6-quart air fryer, the ideal cooking temperature is 300°F (149°C). For a 4-quart air fryer, lower the heat to 275°F to 280°F. Please refer to the notes section for recommended cooking times based on desired doneness.
Prepare an ice bath. Take a large mixing bowl and fill it one-third full with cold tap water. Then, add 1 to 2 blocks of ice cubes or depending on the number of hard boiled eggs you are making.
Peel the air fried hard-boiled eggs. Using a pair of tongs, transfer the cooked eggs into the ice bath immediately, ensuring they are fully submerged. After 30 seconds, gently tap each egg on the side of the mixing bowl to create a small crack. Place the eggs back into the ice bath. Next, fully crack the eggs by rolling them on a chopping board or applying gentle pressure with your hand. Finally, peel the egg shells off gently.
Serve and enjoy your air fryer hard boiled eggs! You can enjoy them as is, make deviled eggs, add them to a salad, use them as a sandwich spread, and more.
