Air Fryer Hard Boiled Eggs 1 Ingredient No Water

Air Fryer Hard Boiled Eggs

Air fryer eggs replaced my stove top method on busy weekdays when I need to whip up quick hard boiled eggs. I make them for breakfast or lunch just about every day, perfect to meal prep to keep in your refrigerator! Since discovering this method, this is the only way I make “hard boiled” eggs now. No waiting for the water to boil, no need to stay near the kitchen, I just place the eggs in the air fryer and walk away. Use them to make deviled eggs, Egg Salad, or this Chickpea Egg Salad.

I’m sure when you think of air fryers you think of air fryer french fries, or egg rolls, or even chicken wings! And yes, I make all of those things in my air fryer (my favorite kitchen appliance), but it’s funny, these air fryer hard boiled eggs have become a part of my morning routine. This air fryer method is much easier than my traditional method, it’s the only way I “boil” eggs now to make perfect eggs that have become part of my weekly meal prep. I love that I don’t have to stand over them to make sure they don’t boil over on a stove. Don’t get me wrong, I still love making hard boiled eggs in my Instant Pot, especially because they peel so easy, but for saving time, the air fryer wins!

Do Air Fryers Cook Faster?
