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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup, brown sugar, and ground black pepper to create a glaze.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Place the bacon-wrapped tater puff seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this step for all the tater puffs.
Step 6
Using a brush or a spoon, generously glaze each bacon-wrapped tater puff with the maple syrup mixture.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the tater puffs from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Remove the toothpicks if used.
Step 9
Serve warm as a delicious snack or appetizer with your favorite dipping sauce, if desired.
