Pepperoni Pizza Tater Tot Skewers

Ingredients:

• Frozen tater tots
• Pizza sauce
• Shredded mozzarella cheese
• Pepperoni
• Wooden skewers

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake frozen tater tots according to package directions until golden and crispy.
2. Remove from the oven and let the tater tots cool slightly so they are easier to handle.
3. Carefully thread the tater tots onto wooden skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
4. Place the skewers on a baking sheet. Spoon a small amount of pizza sauce onto each tater tot, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese and top with a slice of pepperoni.
5. Return to the oven and bake at 400°F for 5–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Tips for Best Results

• Use parchment paper or foil on the baking sheet for easy cleanup.
• Do not overload the skewers to keep them easy to handle.
• If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15–20 minutes beforehand to prevent burning.
• Serve immediately while the cheese is hot and melted.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with extra pizza sauce on the side for dipping. These skewers pair well with other party snacks like wings, sliders, or fresh veggie platters.
