Air fryer hard boiled eggs are super simple and easy to make in a snap, and they may become your new go-to for cooking eggs.👌🏻
Having cooked eggs on hand is a great way to have a quick protein-packed breakfast or snack on hand quickly. We go through phases in our house. But when we are in an egg phase, we always keep some of these air fryer hard boiled eggs on hand.
They are great with a little Sriracha, or some Everything but the bagel seasoning, with simple salt and pepper or my personal favorite – on avocado toast.😋👌🏻
Always start with the best quality eggs you can find. We are digging these fancy heritage breed ones. Aren’t they so pretty!😍
How to cook air fryer hard boiled eggs
Just carefully place the eggs right in the air fryer basket.
Be sure not to overcrowd the basket. The max I have done so far is 6 eggs. Then cook at 275 degrees Fahrenheit for 16 minutes. It is not necessary to preheat your air fryer, by the way.
Note: some air fryers may cook slightly faster or slower than mine, so you may want to do a test run first, and adjust accordingly.
As soon as the cook time is complete, carefully remove the eggs from the air fryer, using tongs. Place them in an ice water bath to shock them and stop the cooking.
After about 5 minutes, peel the eggs. Enjoy immediately, or place in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. 👌🏻
I hope you enjoy these air fryer hard boiled eggs! Let me know if you try them.

I What’s the texture like of the cooked eggs?
Marjorie @APinchOfHealthy says
Hi Mary! It is exactly the same texture as a regular hard boiled egg. Enjoy!
Viv says
Are eggs room temp or right out of the fridge? Does t make a difference and of so how should the temp/time be adjusted?
Marjorie @APinchOfHealthy says
Hi Viv! I usually take them straight out of the refrigerator. I don’t think it would make much difference on the cook time, though. Enjoy!
Karen says
Can’t wait to try this. Thanks!!

I hope you enjoy it Karen!❤️
Virginia Gerde says
Why do the hard cooked eggs need to be in an airtight container? Wondering minds.
Marjorie @APinchOfHealthy says
Hi Virginia! They’ll just stay fresher a bit longer that way.👌🏻 Especially if they are peeled. If you save them prior to peeling off the egg shell, you can just save them without covering.
