Air fryer boiled eggs are a simple and convenient way to prepare eggs with your preferred yolk consistency. Whether you like soft-boiled eggs with a runny center or hard-boiled eggs with a fully set yolk, this easy method makes breakfast and meal prep effortless.
Simply place the eggs in your air fryer, cook them at 140°C (285°F), and transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, peel and enjoy them immediately or save them for later.
Ingredients
Directions
Preheat your air fryer to 140°C (285°F).
Place the eggs in the air fryer basket, leaving a little space between each egg. Close the air fryer.
Soft-boiled eggs: Cook for 9–11 minutes. Hard-boiled eggs: Cook for 14–16 minutes. Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer and the size of the eggs.
If you cook the eggs at a higher temperature, reduce the cooking time by 1–2 minutes as a starting point. Experiment with your air fryer to find the timing that gives you your preferred results.
While the eggs are cooking, fill a bowl with cold water and ice cubes.
Remove the eggs from the air fryer and immediately place them in the ice bath for 4–5 minutes. This helps stop the cooking process and makes peeling easier.
Gently tap each egg against a hard surface and roll it lightly to create cracks all around the shell.
Peel the eggs and enjoy them immediately, or refrigerate them for later. For best food safety, refrigerate cooked eggs promptly. Hard-boiled eggs can generally be stored in the refrigerator for up to 7 days; peeled eggs should be kept in a covered container.
