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. If necessary, cook in batches.
- Step 4: Cook the potstickers at 370°F for 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time for even crisping. Spray additional oil on them at the halfway point if you like a crispier finish.

Tips & Variations
- For extra crispiness, add a light spray of cooking oil after flipping the potstickers halfway through cooking.
- If you prefer, brush the potstickers lightly with sesame oil before air frying for a nutty flavor.
- Try serving with a mix of soy sauce and a splash of rice vinegar for a tangy dip.
- When cooking multiple batches, keep finished potstickers warm in a low oven while the rest cook.
Storage
Store leftover cooked potstickers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them back in the air fryer at 350°F for 3 to 5 minutes until hot and crispy. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
