How To Make Baked Bacon-Wrapped Tater Tots:
Prep Oven & Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
Make the Coating: In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar and chili powder until well combined.
Wrap the Tater Tots: Take one tater tot, wrap it with half a slice of bacon, and secure with a toothpick.
Coat & Arrange: Roll the bacon-wrapped tot in the brown sugar mixture, making sure it’s evenly coated. Place it on the prepared rack. Repeat with the rest of the tots.
Bake: Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the bacon is crisp and the tots are golden brown.
Cool & Serve: Let them cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
