Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 32 pieces frozen tater tots
- 16 slices bacon slices
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 32 pieces toothpicks (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Cut each slice of bacon in half, so you have 32 shorter pieces. This will allow each piece of bacon to wrap around a tater puff.
In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup, brown sugar, and ground black pepper to create a glaze.
Take one frozen tater tot and wrap it with half a slice of bacon, ensuring the ends overlap slightly. If needed, secure the bacon in place with a toothpick.
Place the bacon-wrapped tater puff seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this step for all the tater puffs.
Using a brush or a spoon, generously glaze each bacon-wrapped tater puff with the maple syrup mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and golden. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through cooking for even browning.
Once cooked, remove the tater puffs from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Remove the toothpicks if used.
Serve warm as a delicious snack or appetizer with your favorite dipping sauce, if desired.
