Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Spread the frozen tater tots evenly on the baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer for even cooking.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Drizzle the seasoning mixture over the tater tots. Use a spatula or your hands to gently toss the tater tots, making sure they are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Bake the tater tots in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure they become evenly crispy and golden brown.
Once cooked, remove the tater tots from the oven and let them cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
Serve the seasoned tater tots immediately as a snack or side dish, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauces such as ketchup, ranch dressing, or spicy aioli.
