Instructions
Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and place it in the oven while it preheats. A hot baking sheet is the secret to ultra crispy tater tots.
Season the Tots
In a large bowl toss the frozen tater tots with the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt until every tot is lightly coated. Do not thaw the tater tots before seasoning.
Spread and Bake
Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and quickly spread the seasoned tater tots in a single layer without any overlapping. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes flipping halfway through until deeply golden and crispy.
Serve Hot
Remove from the oven and let cool for just 2 minutes before serving. Tater tots are best served immediately while still hot and crispy. Serve with ketchup, ranch, or cheese dipping sauce.
