Ingredients
- 1 pound frozen tater tots
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1 teaspoon seasoning salt (optional)
- Ketchup or dipping sauce of your choice (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) to ensure even cooking and crispy tots.
- Season Tater Tots: Place the frozen tater tots into the air fryer basket. Lightly coat them with nonstick cooking spray to help crisping and sprinkle with seasoning salt if using. Shake the basket well to distribute the seasoning evenly across the tots.
- Air Fry: Cook the tater tots at 400°F (200°C) for 11 to 14 minutes. Shake the basket a few times during cooking to ensure all sides get golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Once cooked to a crispy, golden perfection, remove the tater tots and serve hot. Pair with ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce for added flavor.
Notes
- Shaking the basket multiple times during cooking promotes even crisping and browning.
- Adjust cooking time depending on your air fryer model and personal crispiness preference.
- Seasoning salt is optional; you can use other spices such as garlic powder, paprika, or ranch seasoning for variety.
- For best results, do not overcrowd the basket to allow hot air to circulate freely.
- Use nonstick spray sparingly to avoid soggy tots.
