Vegetarian Air Fryer Hard-Boiled Eggs

Who knew the air fryer could quietly become your best friend for a protein-packed kitchen staple? The method is brilliantly simple — no boiling water, no watching the clock on a stovetop, just steady circulating heat that sets the whites perfectly and leaves the yolks cooked through without that dreaded grey ring. The ice bath step is the real secret weapon here, stopping the cooking instantly and making the shells slide off with almost no effort. Starting the peel at the wider end, where the natural air pocket sits, means you get clean, smooth eggs every single time. Whether you're meal-prepping a week's worth of snacks, topping a salad, or just craving something satisfying and filling, a batch of a dozen has you covered. They keep beautifully in the fridge for up to a week, so the hardest part is honestly just deciding how to eat them first.
