Main Ingredients

Seasoning (Optional)

Dipping Sauce (Optional)

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This will ensure that the tater tots cook evenly and become crispy.

  2. 2

    Prepare Baking Sheet

    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Arrange Tater Tots

    Spread the frozen tater tots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not touching each other for optimal crispiness.

  2. 4

    Add Oil and Seasonings

    Drizzle the vegetable oil over the tater tots. If using, sprinkle the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika evenly over them.

  3. 5

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the tots halfway through to ensure even cooking and crispiness.

Serving

  1. 6

    Check for Crispiness

    Once the tater tots are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.

  2. 7

    Serve with Dipping Sauce

    Serve the tater tots hot with ketchup or ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
