Instructions
Creating Loaded Tater Tot Skewers is simple and rewarding! Follow these steps to make your own delicious skewers:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to help prevent sticking. Lightly grease it with olive oil.
3. Cook the Tater Tots: Spread the frozen tater tots evenly across the lined baking sheet. Bake according to the package instructions, usually around 20-25 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
4. Assemble the Skewers: Once the tater tots are finished baking, allow them to cool slightly. Carefully take a skewer and thread on about 4-5 tater tots.
5. Add the Toppings: After threading the tater tots, sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon onto the skewers.
6. Return to the Oven: Place the assembled skewers back onto the baking sheet and return them to the oven for an additional 5-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Garnish: Remove the skewers from the oven and sprinkle sliced green onions on top. Drizzle with ranch dressing for added flavor.
8. Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving. The skewers can be served warm or at room temperature.
