Air fryer Frozen Gyoza, Dumplings, Wonton, Potsticker

These air fryer gyoza, potstickers, dumplings or wontons are a fabulous quick snack.

Doesn’t matter what you call them where you live, you can find these in the frozen section of your grocery store.

These are generally a kind of dumplings with an outer covering and a nice filling inside.

They make for a tasty and scrumptious snack when hunger strikes. My teen loves the spicy chicken version while my mother-in-law enjoys the vegan one.

Best of all, it is so easy to make from frozen to crispy in the air fryer in under 15 minutes.

No need to thaw either. It’s a game-changer. Say goodbye to oily, greasy dumplings and hello to crispy perfection.

You can also try these frozen beauties in the air fryer: Tyson popcorn chicken in air fryer, frozen chicken wings in air fryer, frozen hash browns in air fryer and air fryer frozen chicken patties.

I also like to make  frozen spring rolls air fryer, air fryer frozen tater tots, air fryer frozen fries and frozen pizza rolls in air fryer.
