Method
- 1
Lightly spray or brush frozen potstickers with sesame oil — this is what makes them golden.
- 2
Arrange in a single layer in the basket, not touching. Air fry at 380°F for 10-12 minutes.
- 3
Shake gently at 6 minutes. They're done when golden-brown and the wrapper is crispy.
- 4
Mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and chili garlic sauce for the dipping sauce.
- 5
Serve immediately with sauce and sliced green onions.
Pro tip. Don't thaw them — cook straight from frozen for the best texture. The thin wrapper crisps up beautifully while the filling stays juicy inside.
Why the air fryer wins here
- Ready in 12 minutes. The same dish takes about 19 in a conventional oven, plus preheating.
- Uses a fraction of the oil of deep frying, which is how this comes in at 250 calories a serving.
- Cleanup is a basket, not a sheet pan and a splattered stovetop.
Storing and reheating
Refrigerate perishable leftovers within 2 hours, or within 1 hour above 90°F. Reheat leftovers to 165°F (74°C) throughout, measured with a food thermometer. USDA leftover safety guidance.
Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. To bring them back, air fry at 350°F for 3-4 minutes. Flip halfway so both the crispy and pleated sides get hot. Full reheat guide for potstickers.
