If you eat eggs often, you should definitely try this method for cooking eggs in an air fryer.
It's very quick and clean since there's no need to wait for the water to boil; it's a completely automatic process. Simply place the eggs in the air fryer basket, set the timer, and wait until they're cooked to your liking.
To cook eggs in an air fryer, first preheat it for 5 minutes at 170°C. The number of eggs you can cook at once will depend on the size of the fryer basket. The advantage of this method is that you can fit as many eggs as will fit in the basket , as long as they don't overlap, since this could prevent them from cooking evenly.
Cooking eggs in an air fryer requires the same cooking times as boiling them in water . For example, a soft-boiled egg takes 3 to 5 minutes, a medium-boiled egg takes 4 to 6 minutes, and a hard-boiled egg takes 10 to 12 minutes. These times may vary depending on the size of the eggs.
Once the eggs are cooked, it's very important to immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water . This step prevents residual heat from continuing the cooking process, thus ensuring the perfect texture and consistency.
Hard-boiled eggs cooked in an air fryer are delicious simply seasoned with salt and pepper, but they are so versatile that they can also be the star ingredient in a variety of dishes.

How to make hard-boiled eggs in an air fryer
We start by setting the air fryer to 170°C for 5 minutes to preheat. Next, we place 4 eggs in the basket. In our case, we've chosen large eggs. We set the air fryer to 170°C and cook the eggs for 11 minutes to obtain perfectly hard-boiled eggs.
Shortly before the cooking time is up, prepare a bowl of ice water. Once the eggs are cooked, carefully remove them from the air fryer and submerge them in the bowl of ice water. This will stop the cooking process. Leave the eggs in the water for 5 minutes.
Once cooled, peel the eggs and use them as needed.
If we are going to eat them as is, we cut the hard-boiled eggs in half and serve them with a little salt and white pepper to taste.
