Easy “No-Boil” Air Fryer Eggs
This viral method makes hard-cooked eggs that peel incredibly easily — no pot of water needed.
Ingredients
6–12 large eggs
Ice water (for cooling)
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 250°F (120°C).
Place the eggs directly in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Cook:
15 minutes for softer yolks
16–17 minutes for classic hard-boiled
18 minutes for very firm yolks
Immediately transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water for 5–10 minutes.
Crack, peel, and enjoy.
Tips
Older eggs usually peel easier than super fresh ones.
Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model.
You may see tiny brown spots on the shells — that’s normal in air fryers.
