The use of frozen, store-bought Tater Tots makes this recipe much easier toprepare.Ranch seasoning is a fun way to add some zesty flavors to oven-roastedvegetables, if you prefer making something healthier!All you have to do here is combine the frozen tots with some melted butter andranch seasoning before baking according to the package instructions.
Ingredients
2Tbspbutter(melted)
24oz1.5 lbs frozen Tater Tots
1packet Ranch seasoning mix
20chives(finely sliced, as garnish)
A few grinds of fresh black pepper
½cupcrème fraiche(for serving)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350˚F.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter with the dried Ranch seasoning.
Add the frozen Tater Tots and mix until evenly coated in the Ranch seasoning and butter.
Place the seasoned Tater Tots on a parchment-linked sheet tray.
Bake the seasoned Tater Tots at 350˚F for roughly 20-25 minutes, or until perfectly crispy and golden-brown and very hot in the center.
Add some freshly-ground black pepper.
Serve hot, with crème fraiche and a sprinkle of finely sliced chives.
Notes
The Tater Tots are best eaten right out of the oven, when they are still hot. I serve mine with ketchup, but you can use whatever dipping sauce you prefer.
