Nutmeg Free Air Fryer Hard-Boiled Eggs

Hard-boiled eggs sound simple until you've dealt with rubbery whites, greenish yolks, or shells that take half the egg with them. The air fryer method solves all of that with a low, steady heat that cooks each egg gently and evenly — no boiling water, no guesswork. A quick plunge into an ice bath right after cooking stops the process instantly and makes peeling almost effortless, especially when you start at the wider end where the air pocket gives you a natural head start. The result is a perfectly set white and a yolk that's fully cooked but still bright and creamy, not chalky. This is also a wonderfully clean recipe — just eggs, ice, and cold water, so there's nothing hidden to worry about and no spice blends in sight. Make a full batch and keep them in the fridge for easy snacking, meal prep, or topping salads all week long.
