Method

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment or foil for easy cleanup.

  2. 2

    Arrange the frozen chicken nuggets in one zone of the pan and the frozen tater tots in another zone, leaving space between the two so they crisp instead of steam.

  3. 3

    Toss the diced broccoli with 1 tablespoon of oil in a small bowl, then spread it in its own zone on the same pan, keeping it visually separate from the nuggets and tots.

  4. 4

    Slide the pan into the oven and bake for 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Pull the pan out, flip the nuggets and tots with a spatula, and give the broccoli a quick stir so it doesn't scorch.

  6. 6

    Return to the oven and bake another 8–10 minutes, until the nuggets are golden and crisp, the tots are crunchy on the outside, and the broccoli is bright green and just tender with lightly browned edges.

  7. 7

    Let everything rest on the pan for 2 minutes before serving straight off the sheet pan or plated by zone.
