These air-fryer elote eggs are marinated in savory Asian sauces and finished with elote seasoning for bold, umami-packed flavor. This is a better way to enjoy hard-boiled eggs; it’s perfect for meal prep or can be enjoyed as a high-protein snack. You won’t be able to go back to eating eggs plain. —Tam To, Los Angeles, California
