Start by preheating your air fryer to 270°F (about 132°C). This ensures a consistent cooking environment, so your eggs cook evenly from the moment you place them inside.

Carefully place the eggs directly into the air fryer basket in a single layer. It’s important they don’t touch or overlap to allow hot air to circulate fully around each egg.

Set the timer for 15 minutes and let the air fryer work its magic. The hot circulating air cooks the eggs gently, giving you that classic firm white and creamy yolk.

Once the timer goes off, immediately transfer the eggs into a bowl of ice water. Let them sit for about 5-10 minutes. This cooling step stops the cooking process and makes peeling much easier.

Gently tap the cooled eggs on a hard surface, then roll to crack the shell evenly. Peel off the shell under running water for smooth removal. Your hard boiled eggs are now ready to enjoy!
