Ingredients
- 24 frozen tater tots
- 12 slices of bacon, cut in half
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Toothpicks
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and chili powder.
- Take a tater tot and wrap it with a half slice of bacon. Secure with a toothpick.
- Roll the bacon-wrapped tater tot in the brown sugar mixture, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
- Place the wrapped tot on the prepared wire rack. Repeat with remaining tater tots and bacon.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the tater tots are golden.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
- Variations & Tips
- Want to kick up the flavor even more? Try adding a small piece of sharp cheddar cheese inside the tater tot before wrapping it in bacon.
- For a spicy twist, sprinkle some cayenne pepper along with the brown sugar and chili powder mix.
- If you’re looking to make it a bit healthier, you can use turkey bacon instead of regular bacon. And if you’re hosting a party with vegetarians, consider using a plant-based bacon alternative to make sure everyone can enjoy this delicious treat.
