📝 Recipe Tips
- Bake from frozen: There’s no need to thaw the potstickers before putting them on the sheet pan.
- Give them some space: Arrange the potstickers in a single layer without crowding so the edges can crisp.
- Use enough oil: A light coating of oil helps create that golden, crisp exterior.
- Flip halfway through: Turning the potstickers during baking helps them brown more evenly.
- Watch the cooking time: Frozen potsticker brands can vary, so use the package directions as a guide and cook until heated through.
- Serve them hot: Potstickers are at their crispiest right out of the oven, so have the ginger dipping sauce ready before they finish baking.
Sheet Pan Potstickers with Ginger Dipping Sauce
Equipment
- Sheet pan
- Parchment paper
- Small mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Tongs
- Small serving bowl
Ingredients
- 18 frozen potstickers
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 head green cabbage chopped
- 3 large carrots sliced
GINGER DIPPING SAUCE
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons green onion minced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly coat a large sheet pan with 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil.
- Spread the chopped cabbage and sliced carrots over the sheet pan. Drizzle with some of the remaining oil and toss lightly to coat.
- Arrange the frozen potstickers in a single layer among the cabbage and carrots. Brush or lightly coat the potstickers with the remaining vegetable oil.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, carefully flip the potstickers, and stir the cabbage and carrots so they cook evenly.
- Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for another 10–12 minutes, or until the potstickers are hot and golden and the vegetables are tender and beginning to brown around the edges.
- While the potstickers bake, heat the sesame oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the grated ginger and cook for 1–2 minutes, just until fragrant.
- Transfer the ginger and sesame oil to a small bowl. Whisk in the soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and green onion until well combined.
- Serve the hot potstickers with the roasted cabbage and carrots and ginger dipping sauce on the side.
Notes
Vegetables: Slice the carrots fairly thin so they become tender in the same amount of time as the potstickers.
For crispier potstickers: Give everything plenty of room on the sheet pan and flip the potstickers halfway through baking.
Ginger sauce: The dipping sauce can be prepared up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated in an airtight container. Stir well before serving.
Leftovers: Store the cooked potstickers and vegetables in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for the best texture.
