When I want to make something super quick, I immediately reach for my beloved air fryer. I have been making and experimenting with air frying all kinds of dishes in it recently, but one of my favorites has been Frozen Potstickers in Air Fryer.

HERE IS WHAT OUR READERS ARE SAYING:

“My new favorite dinner with rice & steamed broccoli! Timing is perfect!” – Lynnette

I always have some type of dumpling in our freezer. They are one of our go-to snacks and an easy meal.

Pot stickers are hearty and filling and bursting with flavor. Plus, they go well with a variety of dipping sauces, making them never boring.

All grocery stores tend to carry them, but our favorites are from Trader Joe’s. I happen to like the pork version the most. Next time you’re there, check them out.

With a crispy exterior and savory filling, you can’t go wrong. You can’t get that delicate wrapper this crispy unless you fry them, but of course, you will also be using excess fat.

I’m telling you, these are my favorite thing! Cooking things with hot air is always a great way to go. So many tasty foods work well in the air fryer.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS RECIPE:

WHAT IS A GOOD DIPPING SAUCE TO SERVE?

I make my homemade potsticker sauce to serve with these crispy dumplings, but there are many other options! Here are some suggestions:

WHAT TO SERVE THESE WITH?

If you want to serve these with a meal, you absolutely can. Here are my favorite items to serve these air fryer dumplings with:

WILL THIS METHOD WORK WITH OTHER FROZEN GYOZA?

Yes, any frozen dumplings will work with this recipe.

However, a different brand may vary cooking time, so keep that in mind.

They are done when an internal temperature reaches 165°F when checked with a meat thermometer.

I have tested this with other Trader Joe’s potstickers, such as chicken potstickers and vegetable potstickers.

Ling ling potstickers are also good!

DO I HAVE TO USE OLIVE OIL SPRAY?

You don’t HAVE to use it; technically, any cooking spray will work – other than the kind with flour like Baker’s Joy.

There is a consensus that olive oil spray does less damage than other sprays.

When I say damage, I mean there is a residue left over in the air fryer that won’t come out with washing.

I learned this from experience; olive oil spray has never left any residue.

Store leftover potstickers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through. Do not reheat in the air fryer as they may burn.

Freeze for up to 3 months.

Place leftover dumplings in the freezer in a freezer-safe container. To thaw, place the dish in the fridge overnight.

  • Great for an appetizer, meal, or side dish.
  • Air fryer gyoza freezes well, see my tips above on how to store.

  1. Question: are the potstickers frozen or thawed before they go into the air fryer?

  2. Lynnette Walters says:

  3. I’m the author of this blog, and yes I did test it.

  4. Maybe it’s just the difference between my air fryer and the author’s air fryer, but this recipe is not it. I could smell the gyoza burning after like 5 min 30 seconds, so I paused the air fryer and checked on them. There was no need to finish the first 7 min cook or flip the dumplings over. They were crispy af, and honestly not in a good way. I’d do a way lower temperature in the future. Literally who wrote this recipe and did they even test it??
