Can hard-boiled eggs from an air fryer be frozen?
Yes, but only in relation to the yolks. Although I haven’t personally tried it, I’ve read that the whites can even leak and change colour, or they can get rough and rubbery. Nonetheless, the cooked egg yolks can be stored in the freezer for up to three months if you take them out and put them in a freezer-safe container or sturdy freezer bag.

Although I haven’t tested it at the higher temperature, I advise giving it a go for 10 to 12 minutes.
