Ingredients
Equipment
Tip: Eggs that are 5–7 days old tend to peel more easily than very fresh ones.
Set the air fryer to 270°F (130°C). If your model tends to run a bit cool, use 275°F (135°C). Preheat for about 2–3 minutes.
Arrange the eggs in a single layer, leaving space between them so hot air can circulate evenly.
No flipping or monitoring needed—just set the time and let the air fryer work.
As soon as cooking is done, move the eggs into a bowl filled with ice water. Let them cool for at least 5 minutes to stop the cooking process, protect the yolk color, and make peeling easier.
Lightly tap each egg, roll it to crack the shell, and peel under cool running water. Season simply with salt and pepper or experiment with your favorite spices and dips.
