In case you've been living under a rock, TikTok became known for much more than funny singing and dancing videos once foodies hit the screen. Now, you could plan your entire week’s worth of meals by watching quick 30-second videos and please the whole family.
TikTok has brought us some amazing food combinations and mash-ups of flavors that we may not have ever discovered from trained chefs. Here are the most viral food hits of 2021 like the baked feta pasta and the salmon rice bowl which are now on our weekly rotations.
Baked Feta Pasta
Salmon Rice Bowl
Started by Emily Mariko, this TikTok trend is a full meal that you can make with leftovers and delicious toppings like mayo, sriracha, sliced avocado, seaweed snacks, and kimchi. Fans are starting to make their own combinations with leftovers and rice.
Corn Ribs
Here for all the pork alternatives, TikTok saves the day with a corn ribs, a plant-based alternative to ribs. Creating a rib dupe is done by slicing the corn cob into quarters before roasting or air frying. The mix of spices and adding a dipping sauce might fool your closest barbecue lover. Don't knock it til you've tried it.
Nature's Cereal
Celebrities love this viral trend. Singer Lizzo gave this recipe a rave review saying, “I’m addicted y’all” on her own TikTok video. A cereal made of fruit — usually berries and pomegranate arils — that is topped with ice and coconut water is hydrating because of the electrolyte. It's also filled with fiber.
Tortilla Wrap
We can think of few things easier than this viral hack of making a tortilla into a delicious warm wrap. Simply cut a slit into a flour tortilla and top each quadrant with a different ingredient, making it sweet or savory. Lastly, fold the tortilla on itself then toast the whole thing in a skillet or panini press.
Pasta Chips
In case you were bored of eating pasta with sauce on top, you can try this viral trend of making pasta "chips." After boiling pasta as usual, it gets seasoned and topped with cheese and then air fried until crispy. Crunchy and yummy pasta chips make a simple snack perfect for dipping.
Pesto Eggs
Spicing up another kitchen staple are the viral pesto eggs. While eggs are a common ingredient, they're made special by spreading pesto instead of butter or oil into the pan before cracking your eggs in the middle of the pan. Pesto makes this hack full of herby, cheesy flavor that’s pretty nutritious.
