Asteroid-mass primordial black holes are a candidate for explaining the dark matter in our Universe. After introducing the basics of this scenario, I will present the conditions under which such black holes may have originated from a single-field model of inflation. I will then discuss the impact of non-gaussianities on their abundance and phenomenology.
