For the dumplings:

1 tbsp neutral oil (like avocado or canola)
Optional: sesame seeds, sliced green onions

For the peanut sauce:

½ cup creamy natural peanut butter

Instructions

Prep dumplings: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Coat dumplings: Toss frozen dumplings with oil in a bowl until evenly coated. Arrange in a single layer on baking sheet, flat side down.
Bake 18–22 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
Make peanut sauce: While dumplings bake, whisk peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, sriracha, garlic, and ginger in a bowl. Add warm water 1 tbsp at a time until smooth and dip-able.
Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions, with peanut sauce on the side.

💡 Pro Tips:
– For extra crunch, spritz dumplings with oil before baking.
– Add a squeeze of lime or lime zest to the sauce for brightness.
– Double the sauce—it’s great on noodles, salads, or grilled chicken too!
