Frozen Dumplings In Air Fryer
I am like a big kid in a candy shop, when something new arrives in the supermarket, especially in the frozen section, because I want to try it out in the air fryer and see what all the fuss is about.
That was me in Portugal just before we left, to move back to England when I saw some Eastern European German style frozen potato dumplings.
They had both frozen potato dumplings and frozen meat dumplings and they went in the air fryer, so fast.
I must admit, I much preferred the frozen meat ones over potato, but both were delicious.
I headed back to the supermarket, grabbed some more to photo for you and to perfect for the cook times and a second batch to make a video for you.

Not Another Air Fryer Frozen Dumplings Recipe
You’re probably sick of seeing recipes online for frozen dumplings in the air fryer, but its because they are delicious and are perfect for a quick appetizer or for serving with your favourite meals.
Whilst we shared with you our update on air fryer frozen potstickers with you yesterday, the big thing about these, is that they are not Chinese.
They are what you would expect to see in a Polish or a German supermarket. They are fun to add to a meal rather than being an appetizer and I love something different.
My first thought was cook some soup maker beer cheese soup and then add these air fried dumplings on top. Like a fun way to enjoy croutons.
Can You Put Dumplings In An Air Fryer?
Yes, you can. Air fryer dumplings are fantastic in the air fryer. They are like deep fried dumplings, just without the high calories.
Air fryer dumplings have a subtle hint of oil and don’t feel like they are swimming in saturated fats like deep fried dumplings do.
Also, we are sharing with you today, European dumplings and the same texture applies to any frozen dumplings that are cooked in the air fryer.
What Are Air Fryer Dumplings Like?
They are just like steamed dumplings but have a wonderful crisp to them instead. A bit like the crisp you get on breaded mushrooms, but not too crispy like battered onion rings.
It’s a nice in between and ideal for quickly cooking in the air fryer, then serving with dinner, or having as a quick appetizer.
How To Air Fry Frozen Dumplings?
- Load. Add your frozen dumplings into the air fryer basket. Making sure you don’t add the crumbs from the bag as nobody likes a dirty air fryer.
- Cook. Spray with extra virgin olive oil and air fry for approximately 8 minutes depending on how powerful your air fryer is.
- Serve. Add your favourite sauce and serve as an appetizer or load over soup as an alternative to croutons.
How Long To Cook Frozen Dumplings?
The recommended frozen dumplings cook time is JUST 8 minutes. This is regardless of whether you are doing Asian, European, or even South American dumplings.
Though note you can’t shake the air fryer basket as your dumplings easily stick and its best to use a spoon to move them and do so slowly.

I love to serve my frozen dumplings either over soup or with some garlic dipping sauce. You can also make a beer cheese sauce using beer cheese soup too.
Another alternative is to have beer cheese soup, bread machine beer cheese bread and dumplings as a pairing of three for an amazing evening meal.
