How to Make Ninja Foodi Hard Boiled Eggs
A full printable version of this recipe with ingredient measurements is available at the bottom of this post.
STEP ONE: Grab your Ninja Foodi and place 1 cup of water into the inner gray pot. Next, place the eggs into the crisp basket, otherwise known as the air fryer basket.
STEP TWO: Cook the eggs on High Pressure for 4 minutes, then do a natural pressure release for 4 minutes. Follow that with a quick release, which should last for about 1 minute and 30 seconds.
STEP THREE: Remove the eggs from the basket and place them in an ice bath to cool for 4 minutes — don’t skip this step as it stops the eggs from cooking.
STEP FOUR: Crack and peel the eggs. I like to do it under running water as it makes the peeling process a lot easier.
STEP FIVE: Place your Ninja Foodi hard boiled eggs on a plate and gently dry them with a paper towel or clean cloth. Serve as desired (I like mine with a little salt and pepper) and enjoy! You can also make hard boiled eggs in the Ninja Foodi to use in salads or for deviled eggs (find recipes here, here, and here!).
