Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and chili powder.
Take a tater tot and wrap it with a half slice of bacon. Secure with a toothpick.
Roll the bacon-wrapped tater tot in the brown sugar mixture, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
Place the wrapped tot on the prepared wire rack. Repeat with remaining tater tots and bacon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the tater tots are golden.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Variations & Tips
Want to kick up the flavor even more? Try adding a small piece of sharp cheddar cheese inside the tater tot before wrapping it in bacon. For a spicy twist, sprinkle some cayenne pepper along with the brown sugar and chili powder mix. If you’re looking to make it a bit healthier, you can use turkey bacon instead of regular bacon. And if you’re hosting a party with vegetarians, consider using a plant-based bacon alternative to make sure everyone can enjoy this delicious treat.
