Is there anything the air fryer can’t do? For Team Delish, well, we’ve officially fallen under the air fryer spell. Sure, it can make amazing chicken wings, and it can even whip up some wicked desserts. Oh, and did we mention it can even cook eggs?

Although boiling a pot of water is easy, just tossing as many eggs as you want in an air fryer might be even easier. Simply cook the eggs to your desired doneness then shock them in an ice bath, and you will have perfectly boiled (ok, air fried) eggs. You could eat them as they are with a bit and salt and pepper or turn them into these delicious maple bacon deviled eggs.

Ingredients

4
large eggs
Water and ice, for ice bath

Directions

1. Step 1Preheat air fryer to 270º. Add eggs and cook for 15 minutes for hard boiled eggs. For eggs with jammier yolks, cook for 12 to 13 minutes; for soft boiled eggs, 9 to 10 minutes.
2. Step 2While the eggs cook, prepare an ice bath. As soon as the eggs are done, transfer them to the ice bath to halt the cooking. Once cooled, peel the eggs and serve.
