Pecan Free Air Fryer Hard-Boiled Eggs

Perfectly cooked hard-boiled eggs have never been easier, and the air fryer method delivers consistently set whites and fully cooked yolks every single time. No boiling water, no watching a pot — just a quick preheat, a single layer of eggs in the basket, and fifteen minutes of hands-off cooking. The ice bath step is the real secret weapon here, stopping the cooking instantly so you avoid that dreaded grey ring around the yolk. Peeling is a breeze too, especially when you start at the wider end where the natural air pocket gives you a head start. With just eggs, ice, and cold water, this recipe is about as clean and straightforward as it gets — no hidden additives, no complicated prep, nothing to second-guess. Make a full dozen at once and you've got a week's worth of ready-to-eat protein for snacking, salads, or meal prep.
