Are Air Fryer Boiled Eggs Healthy?
If you’re mindful of your diet, you’ll be pleased to know that these eggs are as nutritious as they are delicious. Rich in protein and vital nutrients, they make a guiltless inclusion to any meal plan. And since we’re not adding any oil, they’re low in calories too.

Why the Air Fryer?
I used to think air fryers were just for crispy treats, but they’re amazing for eggs! The even heat circulation in the air fryer cooks the eggs evenly, giving you that perfect texture every time. Plus, it’s super easy – just set it and forget it. No more waiting for water to boil or worrying about overcooked eggs. It’s simplicity at its best.

Tips and Tricks to Make Perfect Air Fryer Boiled Eggs
- Room temperature eggs are your friends here – less cracking, more smiling.
- Older eggs peel easier. It’s weird but true.
- Egg size matters – adjust your cooking time accordingly.
- The ice bath isn’t just for show – it stops the cooking and makes peeling super easy.
- Feeling adventurous? Add a sprinkle of your favorite spice. I love a bit of smoked paprika for a kick!
FAQs
To prevent bursting, start with room temperature eggs and don’t overcrowd the basket. Also, avoid cooking at too high a temperature – 250 degrees F is the sweet spot.
This can happen with very fresh eggs. For easier peeling, use eggs that are a few days old. The ice bath right after cooking also makes a big difference, as it helps the shell separate from the egg.
Once cooked and cooled, store your air fryer eggs in the fridge for up to a week. Just make sure they’re kept covered or sealed to maintain freshness.
Serving Suggestions
I love these eggs just as they are, but they’re also amazing in salads, sandwiches, or as a protein boost in your favorite dishes. Pair them with Air Fryer Turkey Bacon and Roasted Sweet Potatoes (With Tahini Maple) for a hearty, healthy meal.
Make Ahead and Storage
For you meal prep enthusiasts out there, here’s a tip: Whip up a bunch of eggs at the week’s start, and you’ve got yourself a grab-and-go breakfast or snack! Just pop them in the fridge, and you’re good to go. And for those who like to plan way ahead, peel them and tuck them in the freezer for extended freshness (note that if you do choose to freeze hard-boiled eggs, the texture might change once thawed!).
