Air Fryer Bacon-Wrapped Tater Tots are a delicious and easy snack or appetizer! Here’s a simple recipe to make them:
Ingredients:
- 20 frozen tater tots
- 10 slices of bacon (cut in half to make 20 pieces)
- Toothpicks (optional, for securing bacon)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat for about 5 minutes.
- Wrap the Tater Tots: Take each frozen tater tot and wrap a piece of bacon around it. You can secure the bacon with a toothpick if you like, but it’s optional. The bacon will naturally stick as it cooks.
- Arrange in the Air Fryer: Place the bacon-wrapped tater tots in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Try not to overcrowd them, as you want the hot air to circulate around each piece for even cooking.
- Cook: Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for about 12-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking. The bacon should become crispy, and the tater tots should be golden brown and crispy as well.
- Serve: Once cooked, remove the toothpicks if used, and serve immediately. You can dip them in ranch dressing, ketchup, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips:
- Bacon Crispiness: If you prefer extra crispy bacon, you can cook them a little longer, but keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Air Fryer Size: Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook the tater tots in batches.
- Seasoning: Feel free to sprinkle some black pepper, garlic powder, or your favorite seasoning on the tater tots before wrapping them with bacon for an extra flavor boost.
Enjoy these crispy, savory treats as an appetizer or snack!
