I know, weird huh?

Or is it????

That’s right!, you can make Hard “Boiled” Eggs right in your Air Fryer.

Well, without the water, hence the name, Air Fryer Hard Cooked Eggs.

My first post about cooking Eggs is my Pressure Cooker Hard Boiled Eggs post. It took the Instant Pot and Pressure Cooking groups by storm. I think everyone does their Eggs my way now.

Another fun way to make Hard Cooked/Boiled Eggs is to crack them into a pan with my Egg Loaf Method! This method is great for make Potato Salad or Egg Salad.

But, Air Fryers are so popular and I just had to do some Hard Boiled Eggs in my Air Fryer.

My Air Fryer Hard Cooked Eggs recipe/method is just as easy as my Instant Pot and Pressure Cooker methods, as in this recipe, like the others, there is no need for an ice bath or a cool water bath!!!!

Cast of Ingredients for Air Fryer Hard Cooked Eggs

All you need is a Trivet and some Fresh Large Eggs.

I just used the Trivet that came with my Instant Pot Pressure Cooker.

There is actually a Trivet, designed for Eggs. It’s great…I just could not find mine today.

Pile in the Eggs

Pile up as many Eggs as you like and you are good to go!

While they are cooking, you can go about your business, as there is no watching.

Another really easy and healthy recipe for the Air Fryer is my Air fryer Cleo Hollywood Brussels Sprouts.

Air Fryer Hard “Boiled” Cooked Eggs

The Eggs will finish up the cooking process, during the cool down period, after their time in the Air Fryer.

Alternatively, if you want, you can add another minute to the cook time, pull them out of the Air Fryer and then place them in an ice bath. But really, what’s the point? That just takes more effort, another bowl to wash and the total time to eat eggs is the same anyway!

The shells peel off so easily.

One of my favorite Air Fryer recipes is my Air Fryer Chinese Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings.

I also love my Air Fryer Fried Zucchini with Apricot Sauce. Check out the blog for more delicious recipes. There are over a hundred really yummy recipes.

So sorry about my lighting. I have no idea why the photos are so poorly lit for this recipe shoot.
