Ah, yes! You can “boil” eggs in an air fryer—technically, it’s more like cooking them in their shells with dry heat, but the result is very similar to hard- or soft-boiled eggs. Here’s a simple guide:
🥚 Air Fryer “Boiled” Eggs
Ingredients
- Eggs (as many as will fit in a single layer in your air fryer basket)
- Water for an ice bath
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer
- Set it to 270–275°F (130–135°C) for large eggs.
- Place Eggs in Basket
- Arrange in a single layer, making sure they don’t touch.
- Cook Time
- Soft-boiled: 9–11 minutes
- Medium: 12–13 minutes
- Hard-boiled: 14–16 minutes
- Ice Bath
- Immediately transfer eggs to cold water or an ice bath for 5–10 minutes.
- This stops cooking and makes peeling easier.
- Peel & Enjoy
- Crack gently and peel.
- Perfect for snacks, salads, or breakfast.
💡 Tips
- Adjust time by air fryer model—start shorter and increase if needed.
- Use room-temperature eggs for more even cooking.
- No water inside the air fryer—the eggs cook in dry heat.
