Lactose Free Air Fryer Hard-Boiled Eggs

Eggs are one of those naturally dairy-free proteins that work hard in any kitchen, and this air fryer method makes them easier and more consistent than the stovetop ever did. The low, steady heat of 250°F gently sets the whites and yolks without the rubbery texture you sometimes get from a rolling boil. That quick transfer to an ice bath is the real secret — it stops the cooking instantly and makes peeling almost effortless, especially when you start at the wider end where the air pocket gives you a head start. Keep a batch in the fridge unpeeled and you've got a ready-to-go snack, salad topper, or meal-prep staple for the whole week. No butter, no cream, no dairy of any kind — just eggs, ice water, and a little patience. It's the kind of simple, reliable recipe that earns a permanent spot in your weekly rotation.
