Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces frozen tater tots
- 12 pieces bacon strips
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 24 pieces toothpicks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set a wire rack on top. Lightly spray the wire rack with nonstick cooking spray.
Cut each bacon strip in half so you have 24 shorter pieces.
Wrap each frozen tater tot with a piece of the halved bacon. Secure the bacon by inserting a toothpick through the center.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and chili powder until evenly combined.
Roll each bacon-wrapped tater tot in the brown sugar and chili powder mixture, ensuring they're evenly coated. Place the coated tater tots on the prepared wire rack with spacing between them.
Drizzle the maple syrup lightly over the tater tots for an added layer of sweetness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the sugar has caramelized.
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the tater tots cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a party appetizer or snack, and enjoy!
