If you haven’t hard boiled eggs in an air fryer, you are going to love how quick and easy this is. We love to keep hard boiled eggs on hand. They are a great snack packed full of protein, make delicious egg salad or tuna salad sandwiches, and I love to use them in my Old Fashioned Macaroni Salad.
No matter how you put your hard boiled eggs to good use, this just might be the easiest way ever to make them. Don’t spend the extra money for the packs of hard boiled eggs at the store, put your air fryer to use making them at home.
How To Make Hard Boiled Eggs In An Air Fryer
- Wash and thoroughly dry your eggs.
- Place the eggs in a single layer in the bottom of your air fryer.
- Cook at 265 degrees for about 16 minutes.
- Either use tongs, or let sit and cool in the air fryer for a minute or two (they’ll be HOT to the touch!) to remove the eggs from the air fryer. Let cool down or transfer to in an ice bath, to make for easier peeling.
Different air fryers have different power levels. Your air fryer may hold more or less eggs, and may take more or less time to cook.
Recipe Tips
Easy Peel Hard Boiled Eggs
Wondering how to peel hard boiled eggs – easily? I recommend placing eggs in an ice bath once they are cool enough to transfer from the air fryer to a bowl of ice water. Store bought eggs are almost always easier to peel than farm fresh eggs.
Hard boiled eggs stay fresh for about one week when kept in the refrigerator.

I keep my peeled HB eggs in a mason jar and cover them with cold water. They will stay fresh in the fridge for at least a week, sometimes even longer. Just change the water daily.
How long are hard boiled eggs good for?
Hard boiled eggs stay fresh for a lot longer than you posted here.
Can thes be done in an oven type AF? I have two different ones, but, neither are a basket type.
I only have a basket type so I can’t really speak to the results in others as I’ve never used them.
Dumb question. Is this ok to do with eggs right out of the fridge or should I let the eggs sit out a little bit to take the chill off? Thank you!
Yes, you can use them right out of the fride.
