Notes

IMPORTANT NOTE: Adjust the time according to your preferred doneness: Cooking times will vary based on your air fryer model and the level of doneness you like your hard boiled eggs to be. Start by cooking a few eggs according to my recipe to see how they turn out. Then adjust the time up or down by a couple of minutes until you figure out the best cooking time for you and your machine.

Note: If your air fryer was not recently cleaned, you might notice brown spots on your eggs after cooking. They are still edible.

Air Fryer Egg Tips

Cooking eggs in your air fryer may be one of the easiest ways to make hard boiled eggs. On top of not needing water, air fryer eggs are maintenance free. Use these simple tips to ensure your eggs come out perfectly:

Start with a clean basket: As your eggs cook in the air fryer, the circulation of air may stir up crumbs and stuck-on debris. That means the debris may stick to the outside of your eggs. But if you notice brown flecks on the outside of your eggs after they’re cooked – don’t worry. The eggs are still edible because you’ll be removing that debris once you peel the shell off.
Don’t let the eggs touch: It’s important not to overcrowd your eggs in the air fryer basket. The air fryer needs proper air flow to evenly cook the eggs. And if the eggs are touching, the air won’t be able to circulate properly, which could cause your eggs to be undercooked.
