Air Fryer Frozen Dumplings turn out crispy on the outside and tender and perfectly cooked inside. Making frozen dumplings in the air fryer is the easiest and fastest way to cook dumplings, wontons, gyoza, or potstickers.
Most packages of frozen dumplings will come with a sauce that is also frozen. To thaw quickly, run it under room temperature water while the dumplings are cooking in the air fryer.
If you don’t have spray oil, you can place the dumplings in a bowl and toss with 2 teaspoons of oil before placing in the air fryer basket. Avocado is my oil of choice since it has a high smoke point.
Leave room between the dumplings for air to circulate. Do not stack them in the air fryer basket.
This method will work with all varieties of standard size Asian dumplings. Some may take more or less time than others.
Pro Tip: This recipe can be made in the air fryer unit with a basket or the air fryer oven. If you are using the air fryer oven, use the middle rack and select the "Air Fry" function.
Pro Tip: Check your food as it cooks. Each air fryer runs a bit differently. Sometimes airfrying is a trial and error process. Check your food as it cooks to learn your air fryer better! When cooking a new recipe or food items be sure to check your food often to help avoid over/under cooking.
