Whole 30 Air Fryer Hard-Boiled Eggs

Eggs are one of the most naturally compliant proteins you can eat on a round of Whole30, and the air fryer makes cooking a big batch of them almost effortless. Low, steady heat at 250°F sets the whites gently and leaves the yolks perfectly cooked through — no rubbery texture, no greenish ring. The immediate ice bath is the real secret here, stopping the cooking instantly and making the shells slide off far more cleanly than the stovetop method usually allows. Peeling under cool running water, starting from the wider end where the air pocket sits, takes the frustration out of what is usually the most annoying part of the whole process. Keep a batch unpeeled in the fridge and you have a grab-and-go protein ready for salads, snack plates, or a quick breakfast all week long. Three ingredients, zero guesswork, and a result that fits seamlessly into clean eating without any label-reading required.
