Recipes AirfryerAir Fryer Hard Boiled Eggs
Air fryer hard boiled eggs are almost foolproof — no pot of water to watch, no guessing. You get perfectly set yolks and shells that practically slip off, all hands-off in about 15 minutes.
Make a batch for the week: meal-prep breakfasts, snacks, salads, or deviled eggs. The air fryer does it while you do something else.
Ingredients
Instructions
Add the eggs
Place the eggs directly in the basket in a single layer, so they're not touching.
Air fry
Air fry at 270°F for 15 minutes for fully hard-boiled eggs (13 minutes for slightly softer yolks).
Ice bath
Transfer immediately to a bowl of ice water for 5 minutes to stop the cooking and make them easy to peel.
- Times vary by air fryer — test one egg first and adjust by a minute or two.
- The ice bath is key for clean peeling and a bright yolk.
- Older eggs (a week or more) peel more easily than very fresh ones.
Frequently asked
How long do hard boiled eggs take in the air fryer?
15 minutes at 270°F for firm yolks, then a 5-minute ice bath. For jammy yolks, try 11–12 minutes.
Do air fryer eggs get brown spots?
A few light spots on the shell are normal and don't affect the egg. They peel away with the shell.
What temperature for soft boiled eggs?
Air fry at 270°F for about 10–11 minutes, then ice bath, for a soft, runny center.
