- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1 teaspoon seasoning salt (optional)
- Ketchup or dipping sauce of your choice (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Tater Tots: Place the frozen tater tots in the air fryer basket. Lightly coat them with nonstick cooking spray for even crispiness. If using, sprinkle seasoning salt over the tots and shake the basket well to evenly distribute the seasoning.
- Air Fry the Tater Tots: Set the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Cook the tater tots for 11 to 14 minutes, shaking the basket every few minutes to ensure even cooking and crisping until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Remove the crispy tater tots from the air fryer and serve hot with ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce for a tasty snack or side dish.
Notes

- Feel free to experiment with other seasonings like paprika, garlic powder, or cayenne for extra flavor.
