Air Fryer Potstickers Recipe

Ingredients
- 12 frozen potstickers
- Non-stick cooking spray
- Sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or other preferred sauce (for dipping)
- Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the air fryer to 370°F for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Step 2: Spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Step 3: Arrange the frozen potstickers in a single layer in the basket, making sure they do not touch to allow for even cooking. Cook in batches if necessary.
- Step 4: Cook the potstickers at 370°F for 10 minutes. Flip them halfway through the cooking time and optionally spray a little more oil for extra crispiness.
- Step 5: Once cooked, sprinkle with chopped green onions for garnish and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips & Variations
- For extra crispiness, lightly spray potstickers with oil before cooking, not just the basket.
- Try dipping sauces like garlic soy sauce, spicy mustard, or hoisin sauce to change up the flavor.
- If using fresh potstickers instead of frozen, reduce cooking time to 6 to 8 minutes.
Storage
Store leftover potstickers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in the air fryer at 370°F for 3 to 5 minutes to restore their crispiness. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

Ingredients
Potstickers
- 12 frozen potstickers
- Non-stick cooking spray
To Serve
- Sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or preferred dipping sauce
- Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 370°F (188°C) for 2 to 3 minutes to ensure it’s hot and ready to cook the potstickers evenly.
- Prepare basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray to prevent the potstickers from sticking during cooking.
- Arrange potstickers: Place the frozen potstickers in a single layer inside the basket, making sure they do not touch to allow even air circulation. If needed, cook them in batches.
- Cook potstickers: Cook the potstickers at 370°F (188°C) for 10 minutes total, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure both sides get crispy. Optionally, spray a little more oil on them at the halfway point for extra crispness.
- Garnish and serve: Once cooked to golden perfection, transfer the potstickers to a serving plate. Sprinkle chopped green onions over the top and serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce such as sweet chili or soy sauce.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary for the best results.
- Flipping halfway through cooking is important to get a crispy texture on both sides.
- You can adjust cooking time slightly depending on the size and brand of potstickers.
- Using non-stick spray helps prevent sticking and promotes even browning.
