Ingredients

  • 3 cupswater
  • 8 to 9 ice cubes

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • air fryer basket
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Kitchen tongs

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Arrange the 6 large eggs in a single layer in the air fryer basket (cook in batches if they won't fit in one layer).
  2. Set the air fryer to 250°F and cook for 17 minutes.
  3. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, make the ice bath: pour 3 cups water into a medium or large mixing bowl and add 8 to 9 ice cubes.
  4. When the 17-minute cycle finishes, use kitchen tongs to transfer the eggs immediately from the air fryer into the ice bath.
  5. Let the eggs sit in the ice bath for 8 to 10 minutes to cool completely.
  6. After cooling, roll each egg against the inside of the bowl to crack the shell, then peel the eggs—the shells should come off easily.

Notes

If you want softer eggs, decrease the time. The cooking time varies when it comes to the size of eggs, freshness, and the model of your air fryer. Test it with one or two eggs before cooking a large batch.
You can store hard-boiled eggs in your fridge for up to 1 week.
If your air fryer does not go below 300 degrees F, try different settings than “air fry”. Many times the “bake” setting will let you set the temperature to 250 degrees.
