Air-Fryer Potstickers: Quick, Crispy, And Delicious

Cooking potstickers in an air fryer is a quick and easy way to get crispy dumplings without the need for lots of oil. You can cook frozen potstickers straight from the freezer, without the need to thaw them first, and they'll be ready in under 10 minutes. The key to getting the best results is to arrange the potstickers in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each one for air to flow. You can then spritz or mist them with oil and cook at a high temperature, flipping them halfway through.

How to arrange potstickers in the air fryer basket

When arranging potstickers in the air fryer basket, it's important to leave space between each one for air to flow. Place them in a single layer, ensuring they don't touch each other or the sides of the basket. This will allow for the best airflow and ensure even cooking. You can work in batches if needed, and flip them often so that all sides get equal access to the heat.

The cooking time will depend on the temperature you set your air fryer to. If you set it to 370-380°F, you should cook the potstickers for 5 minutes, gently shake the basket, and then cook for another 5 minutes or until they are as crispy as you like. If you set it to 400°F, you should cook them for about 5 minutes and then check on them. If the tops are cooking faster than the bottoms, you can flip them halfway through. At 200°C/400°F, the cooking time is 6-7 minutes, turning halfway through.
