Instructions

Place the eggs in the air fryer basket. (I do not preheat the air fryer for this recipe. If you preheat, you should decrease the cook time by a few minutes.)
Cook at 250° F for 18-19 minutes for hard boiled eggs. (See note below.) For soft boiled eggs, cook for 15-16 minutes.
As soon as the cook time ends, immediately place the eggs in a bowl of ice water. Let the eggs sit in the ice bath for 5-10 minutes.
Hard boiled eggs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. They stay freshest when stored unpeeled. (But they will peel most easily right after cooking and sitting in the ice bath.)

Notes

You may cook more or less eggs at once, as long as they fit in a single layer in the air fryer basket without being overcrowded.
When you cook your first batch of air fryer hard boiled eggs, I recommend cooking only 1-2 eggs to find your perfect cook time. Different air fryers have different wattages and thus can cook differently, and you may like your eggs a little more or less cooked than I do. The cook time needed can also vary with the size of your eggs. My air fryer is 1700 watts and 19 minutes (with no preheating) works perfect for me.
