Nickel Allergy Friendly Air Fryer Hard-Boiled Eggs

Eggs are one of the most naturally low-nickel proteins out there, making them a go-to when you're navigating a long list of foods to avoid. The air fryer method here is surprisingly brilliant — no boiling water, no guesswork, and the gentle, consistent heat at 250°F produces whites that are fully set without turning rubbery. The ice bath step is the real secret to easy peeling, and it stops the cooking right on cue so you never end up with that greenish ring around the yolk. With just eggs, ice, and cold water, there's nothing hidden in this recipe to second-guess. Batch a full dozen at once and you've got a week's worth of quick, satisfying protein ready to grab from the fridge. Whether you slice them over salads, eat them plain with a little salt, or mash them into a simple filling, these come out clean and consistent every single time.
