Ninja Air Fryer Hard Boiled Eggs - Easy, Fast, and Foolproof

Cook Time15 minutes
Total Time15 minutes
Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • Large eggs (as many as fit in a single layer in your Ninja air fryer basket; 6–12 works well)
  • Ice water (for chilling after cooking)
  • Optional: A wire rack or silicone egg holder that fits your basket, but it’s not necessary

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer: Set your Ninja air fryer to 300°F (150°C) for 3–5 minutes. Preheating helps keep timing consistent.
  • Arrange the eggs: Place eggs in a single layer in the basket. Leave a little space between them for even airflow. No water needed.
  • Choose your time: For soft-set jammy yolks, cook 10–11 minutes. For classic hard boiled, cook 12–14 minutes. For fully firm yolks, cook 15–16 minutes. Most people love 13 minutes for a classic hard boiled texture.
  • Prepare an ice bath: While eggs cook, fill a large bowl with cold water and plenty of ice.
  • Chill immediately: When time is up, transfer eggs straight into the ice bath. Chill 5–10 minutes to stop the cooking and make peeling easier.
  • Peel and enjoy: Gently roll each egg on the counter to crack, then peel under a thin stream of running water if desired. The shells should slide off cleanly.
