Ingredients

1 - 12 large eggs
Salt & pepper, hot sauce, or EBTB seasoning

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 270°F (135°C).
Arrange eggs in a single layer in the air fryer, leaving a little space between each one.
For hard-boiled eggs, cook for 14 - 16 minutes.
While eggs cook, prepare an ice bath by filling a bowl halfway with ice and cold water.
Carefully remove hot eggs from the air fryer using tongs or gently rolling them into the bowl.
Let them sit for about 4-5 minutes so they cool (make peeling easier).
Peel and serve! I love adding everything-but-the-bagel-seasoning. Store extras in an airtight container in the fridge for 5-7 days.

Notes

Cook time may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model. Start with 14 minutes for hard-boiled eggs and adjust as needed.
For soft or jammy yolks, reduce cook time to 12–13 minutes.
No need to add water—just place the eggs directly in the air fryer basket.
Let eggs rest for 4–5 minutes after cooking to make peeling easier. No ice bath needed!
Older eggs peel more easily than fresh ones.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days
