Citrus Free Air Fryer Hard-Boiled Eggs

Perfectly cooked hard-boiled eggs have never been easier, and the air fryer method genuinely delivers consistent results every single time. No boiling water, no watching the clock on a stovetop, and no guessing — just set the temperature, walk away, and come back to eggs that are fully set with smooth, creamy yolks. The ice bath step is the real secret weapon here, stopping the cooking instantly so you never end up with that dreaded gray ring around the yolk. For anyone avoiding citrus, this recipe is as clean and straightforward as it gets — eggs, ice, and water, nothing hidden and nothing to second-guess. They peel beautifully under cool running water, especially when you start at the wider end where the air pocket gives you a natural head start. Meal prep fans will love that a batch keeps in the fridge for up to a week, ready to slice onto salads, pack into lunches, or eat straight with a pinch of salt.
