- Non-stick cooking spray

Tips & Variations

Ingredients
Potstickers
- 12 frozen potstickers
- Non-stick cooking spray
For Serving
- Sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or other preferred sauce (for dipping)
- Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (188°C) for 2 to 3 minutes to ensure even and efficient cooking.
- Prepare the 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 air fryer basket, making sure they do not touch each other to allow proper air circulation. If necessary, cook them in batches.
- Cook potstickers: Air fry the potstickers at 370°F for 10 minutes. At the halfway point (around 5 minutes), flip the potstickers to ensure both sides become evenly crispy. Optionally, spray a little more cooking spray at the halfway mark for extra crispiness.
- Garnish and serve: Once cooked and golden brown, remove the potstickers and sprinkle chopped green onions on top. Serve immediately with your preferred dipping sauce such as sweet chili or soy sauce.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook potstickers in batches if needed.
- Flipping halfway through cooking ensures even crisping on both sides.
- Adjust cooking time slightly if potstickers are larger or smaller than average.
- You can use an oil spray for a lighter coating or brush lightly for a richer flavor.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
