Air Fryer Boiled Eggs
I know, how can I call them “boiled eggs” when there is no water involved in the cooking process?! That’s just what I’m calling them so people know that I mean whole cooked eggs.
Air fryers are so great for simple cooking tasks, such as boiled eggs. You can cook them to your desired doneness in minutes!
I like cooking eggs in the air fryer because the outcome is pretty consistent. I also love getting those pretty yellow yolks instead of the green ones (when I overcook them on the stove)!
If there is an old batch of eggs I might get an off result. I test a couple before I make a big batch for something like deviled eggs. Just to be sure!
Can the eggs be cold, right out of the fridge?
Yes, that’s how I normally do mine. My hens aren’t laying like they used to so I rely on store-bought eggs that I keep in the fridge.
Some of my eggs cracked, is this normal?
Yes it is. I rarely have a batch of eggs where one doesn’t crack. If you get a lot of cracked eggs, or worse, exploded eggs, try cooking them at a lower temperature.
Can I make air fryer soft boiled eggs?
Sure! Just cook them for 10 minutes if you want them soft, 12 minutes for medium (remember, your air fryer may cook differently, so do a test!). It really depends on how soft you like them.
Once you make a few you will be able to dial in your perfect time!

Air Fryer Boiled Eggs are a super easy and waterless way to make perfect boiled eggs. Air fryer hard cooked eggs are so simple to make!
- 1-12 lg Eggs
- Bowl of Ice Water
-
Place eggs in one layer in the air fryer basket.
-
Close the air fryer lid and set the temperature to 250° and set the time to 16 minutes.
-
Choose 10 minutes if you want them soft, 12 minutes for medium (remember, your air fryer may cook differently, so do a test!).
-
Start the air fryer.
-
When the cook cycle is finished, open the air fryer and very carefully transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking.
-
When they are cooled down, peel them or store them in the fridge until ready to use.
This temperature and time works with my air fryer, the Ninja Foodi. Your model may give you different results. Test 1 or 2 eggs following this method, and then adjust to your desired results.

How do you get you ninja foodie air to go to 250? The lowest mine can go is 300. I wound up just pressure cooking at high for 7 minutes with a cup of water at the bottom. Turned out perfectly.
Sandy
I wonder if some of the models are different in the temps they can go to. How strange, as they are both Ninja Foodies. I just used the buttons.

The recipe worked great, as is, in my Instant Vortex Mini! The eggs were cold, right out of the fridge … no problem. Also, ignore the preheat and flip over signals. Be sure to open the drawer and get the eggs into the ice water right away…as soon as it says End and before the fan stops! They keep cooking a bit in the residual heat. I had a bit of brown rings around the yolk the first time I made some. Still edible but didn’t look perfect! LOL

My first time fixing eggs in an air fryer (Kalorik) and they turned out just fine at 16 minutes. Thanks
Lea
Tried this method, so easy! Cooked 5 eggs for 12 min. The middles were perfect but the shells were hard to peel off without losing some of the egg whites. Any suggestions?
Sandy
Chill the eggs first. That usually works for me!
Bernie
Tried it in my Cosori airfryer not impressed yolk was runny and the white was not firm
Sandy
I’m sorry to hear that. I tested this recipe in 2 different air fryers (Ninja Foodie and Instant Pot Omni Plus), and it worked perfectly.
