Paleo Air Fryer Hard-Boiled Eggs

Eggs are one of the most naturally whole-food-friendly proteins you can eat, and this air fryer method makes a batch of perfectly cooked ones almost effortless. The whites come out fully set with no rubbery texture, and the yolks stay rich and creamy without a hint of that grayish ring you get from overcooking on the stovetop. The ice bath step is the real secret — pulling the eggs straight from the basket into cold water stops the cooking instantly and makes peeling genuinely easy, especially when you start at the wider end where the air pocket sits. There are no added oils, no fillers, and no ingredients to second-guess here — just eggs, ice, and water, which is about as clean as a recipe gets. Keep a batch peeled and ready in the fridge for quick snacks, post-workout fuel, or slicing over a big salad. They store beautifully for up to a week, so one cook session can carry you through several days of grab-and-go eating.
