Okay, ladies and gents, let me tell you about my absolute favorite midnight snack that has literally saved me during those late-night cravings! You know those moments when youโre binge-watching your favorite show, and your stomach starts doing the rumba? Well, Iโve got just the thing โ my legendary Loaded Pizza Tots!
Trust me, this isnโt your regular tater tots situation. Weโre taking it to a whole new level thatโll make your taste buds dance at 2 AM. The best part? It only takes 15 minutes to whip up!
Hereโs what youโll need:
โ 1 bag of frozen tater tots (because who has time to make them from scratch?)
โ 1 cup of shredded mozzarella (or more, I wonโt judge ๐)
โ 1/2 cup of mini pepperoni
โ Italian seasoning
โ Garlic powder
โ Your favorite marinara sauce
โ Optional: ranch dressing (because why not?)
Now, let me walk you through this divine creation:
1. Preheat your oven to 425ยฐF (or air fryer to 400ยฐF)
2. Spread those tots on a baking sheet and bake until theyโre golden and crispy (about 20 minutes)
3. Hereโs where the magic happens! Sprinkle generous amounts of mozzarella, add those cute little pepperonis, and shower them with Italian seasoning and garlic powder
4. Pop it back in for 2-3 minutes until the cheese gets all melty and gorgeous
