Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • Salt, to taste
  • Seasonings (optional): garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, poultry seasoning, or your choice of spices

Instructions

  1. Preheat air fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat for a few minutes to ensure even cooking.
  2. Prepare tater tots: Place the frozen tater tots in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray with cooking spray to help them crisp up and prevent sticking.
  3. Season tater tots: Toss the tater tots gently to coat evenly, then spray the other side with cooking spray. Sprinkle salt and your desired seasonings over them for added flavor.
  4. Cook: Air fry the tater tots for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure they cook evenly and become golden brown on all sides.
  5. Serve: Once crispy and golden, remove from the air fryer and serve immediately while hot and crunchy. Enjoy your delicious tater tots as a snack or side dish!

Notes

  • Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the model and size of your air fryer.
  • For extra crispiness, you can increase the cooking time by a few minutes but watch to avoid burning.
  • Feel free to experiment with different seasonings to match your taste preferences.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure proper air circulation and even cooking.
  • Use cooking spray sparingly to avoid soggy tots.
