Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Large eggs
- 4 cups Water
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil or avocado oil
Instructions
Place the eggs in a single layer in a medium-sized saucepan or pot.
Add 4 cups of water to the saucepan, ensuring the eggs are fully submerged.
Sprinkle the water with 1 teaspoon of sea salt to help prevent the eggs from cracking.
Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then cover the saucepan with a lid and reduce the heat to low.
Simmer the eggs for 10 minutes for hard-boiled eggs.
While the eggs are cooking, prepare a spice blend by combining the turmeric, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and ground black pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
Once the eggs are done cooking, carefully transfer them to an ice bath (a bowl filled with ice and cold water) to stop the cooking process. Let them sit in the ice bath for 5 minutes.
Peel the eggs once they are cool enough to handle.
Drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil or avocado oil over the peeled eggs, then sprinkle the spice blend evenly over them. Gently toss or roll the eggs to ensure they are evenly coated with spices.
Serve immediately as a snack or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
