75 TikTok Recipes That Actually Work (2024)

Chicken Cobbler

"It was delicious, warm, and filling — great comfort food! I used mixed vegetables instead of peas and carrots, cooked for one hour. The rest time after removing from oven is essential. Kiddos loved it!" —mindyv10

TikTok Parmesan-Crusted Roasted Potatoes

"Easy and delicious. Love how the Parmesan gets so crispy, while the potatoes are so fluffy on the inside." —Vicki Lanzendorf

Cheddar Bay Biscuit Chicken Cobbler

"This was very, very tasty and took little effort to make. It is also done quickly so it makes a perfect dinner when you don't have time or energy. I changed it on my second go-round to double the gravy part, only because we prefer our biscuits more moist than the routine ones. You can also play with the cheese amounts in the biscuits and add extra spices depending on your tastes. This is a keeper!" —minaayindra

Crispy Parmesan-Crusted Roasted Brussels Sprouts

"I can't say enough about this recipe! I loved these and they also make a nice snack with the leftovers! They are very impressive with very little effort!" —Ms. Chef Esh

Georgia Pot Roast

"This was great! I’ve had Mississippi roast before, but never Georgia roast! The difference is this is sweeter and not spicy, but it’s not as sweet as a barbecue recipe. I didn’t need any beef stock, as there was plenty of liquid from the roast and jar of onions. We made it into sliders but also tried some over white rice and it was great both ways!" —fabeveryday

TikTok Baked Spaghetti

"This was EXCELLENT! Followed exactly but used Jimmy Dean mild Italian sausage links, chopped/sliced, because I already had it out thawing. I’m not on TikTok but loved this recipe! Great spin on spaghetti!" —DREGINEK

TikTok's Air Fryer Garlic Butter Steak Bites

"Think your steak couldn't get better? It can when you use the air fryer!" —Sara Haas, RDN, LDN

Fried Beef Tacos

"Brings back childhood. I grew up in the Southwest, and back in the '50s and early '60s there was no such thing as prefolded heat-and-serve taco shells. This was how everyone’s mom made tacos. And in my opinion, it's still the best." —Bruce

TikTok Green Goddess Salad

"Use a food processor to shred and chop the cabbage if your knife skills aren't up to the task. The dressing is so tasty that we recommend mixing up an extra batch to use on grilled veggies, fish, and even as a sauce for pizza!" —Sara Haas, RDN, LDN

TikTok Shrimp Sushi Bake Cups

"These are great appetizers to serve at a co*cktail party, as well as a meal with a light cucumber salad on the side.If you aren't a fan of nori, try these using wonton wrappers instead." —Karen Rankin

TikTok Ramen

"I keep stumbling across this TikTok recipe and decided to finally try it. I was a little skeptical of the Everything Bagel seasoning but it works, even though it's not a traditional ingredient. A simple weeknight meal and I loved the added protein from the egg. Don't forget the green onions! A nice twist on ramen." —France C

TikTok Crispy Bubble Potatoes

"The double fry method is key to achieving the super crispy, thin crust without overcooking the interior of the ball." —Ali Ramee

TikTok Brownies

"Here's the recipe for the simple brownies you saw in the TikTok comments." —Sara Haas, RDN, LDN

Campfire Queso

"We tried the smoked queso trend from TikTok and stirred in taco-bar toppers. For a less indulgent, vegan take, try the stir-together salsa instead. It’s got everything but the meat and dairy." —Juliana Hale

TikTok Hot Honey Halloumi

"If you're looking for the ultimate addition to your next cheese board, try this salty, sweet, irresistible appetizer. A quick pan-sear caramelizes the hot honey marinade and warms up the cheese to reach a delicious creamy consistency." —Annie Campbell

Baked Feta Pasta

"This was a fantastic recipe. I followed the instructions to the letter (minus the excess pasta water). It came out better than I imagined, especially since I'm not really a big fan of feta. Delicious! I will absolutely make this again." —Jawesome

Upside Down Apple and Brie Puff Pastry Tarts

“The buttery pastry and rich cheese mellow out the extra-hot honey, but that little bit of heat is so, so nice. *Chef's Kiss.*" —Julia Levy

TikTok's Air Fryer Shrimp

"Seven minutes in an air fryer is all it takes to get this crave-worthy air fryer shrimp popularized all over TikTok." —Sara Haas, RDN, LDN

TikTok Salmon Bowl

"I was pleasantly surprised with how good this was. I used Japanese barbecue sauce instead of soy and it turned out really well. A very fast and easy bowl to make when in a pinch. If you aren't into salmon, you can substitute it with any other kind of protein." —B. Tario

TikTok Grinder Salad Sandwich

"Really yummy! The salad really makes this sandwich. I did use a little less ham than called for, but otherwise followed the recipe." —Laura

Copycat Ramen

"This was awesome!! Doubled the recipe and used a bag of coleslaw cabbage — it made this recipe that much easier. I also omitted the furikake seasoning because I didn’t have any but it wasn’t noticeably missed. This was a crazy easy, quick, and delicious weeknight meal! Will make again!" —DREGINEK

Minestrone Soup in a Jar

"We developed this minestrone soup in a jar, inspired by recipes on TikTok for soup in a jar. A great make-ahead meal that you can make year round." —Juliana Hale

Pizza Skulls

"Nothing not to love here! They’re so fun and festive — perfect for your next Halloween party." —Nicole Hopper

"Try this heat-and-eat recipe for a warming main to prep and tote all season long. Use jars labeled 'microwave-safe' (check the bottoms) and never microwave the lids." —Juliana Hale

TikTok's Air Fryer Pizza

"A 10-minute recipe that's perfect for lunch, dinner, or anything in between." —Sara Haas, RDN, LDN

Toasted Rice Krispie Treats

"Inspired by a TikTok hack for toasting marshmallows, we've elevated the standard three-ingredient recipe to create the perfect nutty, sweet treat with layers of caramel flavor. These familiar favorites have a deeper, richer flavor than usual between the roasted marshmallows, crispy golden flecks, and rich brown butter." —Annie Campbell

TikTok Air Fryer Pineapple Toast

"My curiosity got the best of me, and I had to try this. We had it for breakfast along with some fresh fruit, but with its sweetness, the toast might even work for dessert. It certainly is decadent, no doubt about that, but it’s pretty tasty and very quick and easy to make." —lutzflcat

Miso Noodle Soup in a Jar

"Needs quote."

Layered Brownies

"We really enjoyed these. Admittedly we left out the Oreo cookies and added a cup of pecans. The brownies are moist, have just the right balance of chocolate, and the other flavors make a subtle appearance." —Andrew Hebert

Ranch Water

"Wow, this was good but with three ounces of tequila it was very strong. At least for me it was. I used añejo tequila because I do not buy silver tequila. Next time I will cut back to two ounces of tequila." —Yoly

Ciabatta Grinder Salad Sandwich

"These sandwiches, aka grinders, are AMAZING! The flavors ROCK! I did add the red onions and pepperoncini peppers the last few minutes of cooking." —DREGINEK

Pesto Steak Confit

"A recent video on TikTok purports to make an amazing steak by submerging steak in olive oil, cooking slow, and doing a flash sear at the end. This is my unique twist. I reserved the leftover pesto, tossed it with cooked tortellini, and topped with steak." —thedailygourmet

Dalgona Coffee (Whipped Coffee)

"My husband and I loved it! I made it exactly as the recipe was written but there are SO MANY possibilities, I’m sure we’ll make this a lot in the future with many different twists!" —Patti

Watermelon Pizza

"This was such a fun shift of gears. The sweet watermelon paired with the tangy bite of the olives and feta cheese was wonderful! Definitely a keeper and looking forward to redoes." —Ralph

Spiced Bacon Twists

"This. Was. Fantastic! I made it exactly as called for in the recipe and my family stood around the pan devouring it. I made some the next week for an event I was going to and I had to actually stand guard over it because my family was sharking pretty hard around it. It was the first thing to disappear at the potluck and folks were begging for the recipe." —BETSYJXN

TikTok Egg Boil

"These were so yummy! My eggs were on the medium-small side so sauce was enough for six to seven. I was worried about the tablespoon of hot sauce but it really works! The lemon juice tampers it down. After slicing the eggs, we ate them with a spoon and toast. Amazing!" —DREGINEK

Sugo di Pomodoro (Authentic Italian Tomato Sauce)

"Very authentic! Instead of already chopped tomatoes, I used whole peeled ones and they added a bit more texture to the sauce. I squished them in my hand and then put them in the pot. Used on top of homemade pasta and it was an amazing turnout!" —Rachel Harfst

Cajun-Smoked Cream Cheese

"The next time you have the smoker fired up, turn an ordinary block of cream cheese into a special treat. Two ingredients and foil are all you need. Serve with crackers or your dipper of choice." —Soup Loving Nicole

Spicy Canned Salmon Salad Rice Bowl

"Canned salmon mixed with rice vinegar, sriracha, and mayonnaise makes this one spicy salmon salad rice bowl. Fresh cucumbers, quickly marinated in soy sauce, and sliced avocado add some coolness. Feel free to make this bowl your own by adding more ingredients." —Chef Mo

Two-Ingredient Ranch Kosher Dill Pickle Spears

"This was all the rave on the internet so I had to give it a shot because it seemed too good to be true. Turns out all you need is a jar of pickles and a packet of ranch dressing mix and you're in for a treat. It's a must for a picnic or backyard barbecue! It doesn't get any easier than this." —Soup Loving Nicole

Pizza Soup

"Easy and DELICIOUS! My wife doesn't like many soup recipes but she really liked this one!" —Anthony Moseley

Pickled Garlic

"This was super simple. Tasty too! I did a regular batch, but then I did a spicy batch (Dave's Insanity Sauce). SO good!" —Bill Seahawks Rock Bowlin

Parmesan-Crusted Baby Carrots

"Oh my gosh, these were delicious, simple, and inexpensive to make! I roasted mine. A definite 'keeper' recipe." —Sharon

TikTok Pancake Spaghetti

"Pancake Spaghetti surprised me. The griddle side gets a crisp edge like a normal pancake would and since it's piped so thin, the batter has no problem cooking through to create a pancake experience that is slightly crisp with a soft, twirlable texture, too." —Devon O'Brien

Oreo Mug Cake

"This was so easy and so good that I almost can’t believe it! It might be dangerous knowing I can have such a delicious little cake with such little effort and so few ingredients any time I want it! I made it exactly as written and it worked perfectly. I served with a little dollop of Cool Whip, which was a great addition." —fabeveryday

Negroni Sbagliato

"This co*cktail has all the makings for a traditional Negroni except this one is made with sparkling wine instead of gin." —CookingWithShelia

Easy Mushroom-Miso Pasta

"Loved it! This was quick, easy, and healthy." —Nicole2100

Matcha Martini

"The vivid green hue of a matcha martini is eye-catching and practically destined to go viral. Plus, the creamy consistency makes this drink feel like part co*cktail, part dessert." —Karla Walsh

Marry Me Chicken

"This recipe is beyond amazing! I tripled the sauce and skipped using the oven because it turns out just perfect on the stovetop. Stored leftovers in the same skillet with lid then added a bit more chicken stock to heat through and it was better than the night before!" —Kristin Bowman

Hot Chocolate Bombs

"Place a frozen chocolate bomb in a cup of steaming hot milk, stir, and voilà — homemade hot chocolate in just a few minutes! Top with whipped cream, marshmallows, chocolate sprinkles, or your favorite toppings." —Yoly

"Spa"ctacular Frozen Grapes

"Simple to prepare and absolutely delicious! I served them as an appetizer for Easter and Thanksgiving dinner and they were very successful!" —Bailey

Nicole's French Onion Mac and Cheese

"This was delicious. A great way to enjoy mac and cheese with a different flavor. (But not too different where traditional mac and cheese lovers wouldn't like it.) My kid tore it up. I had a leftover plain chicken breast which I chopped up and threw in for some more protein." —Kathleen Kerzner

Fondant Potatoes

"Loved the way these turned out. Grabbed some thyme from the garden and made them as directed. They garnered a thumbs up from my son who is not really a potato lover, so I'll definitely be doing them again, probably with rosemary next time." —SHARON B.

Easy Creamy Chicken Ramen

"This was tasty! I had to add another third cup or so of water (probably just a difference in the noodles, absorbing more). I used salted butter because that's all I had, and just a dash of regular soy sauce. Yum!" —J T

Decorated Focaccia Bread

"Great recipe to make and decorate with kids! Turned out wonderfully. I used garlic-infused olive oil that added to the flavor." —Jaclyn Beatty

Croiffles

"Popularized in South Korea, the croiffle (or croffle) is simply a croissant cooked in a waffle maker. The TikTok-famous treat is the latest addition to the croissant-variant family. Who knew the flaky French pastry was so versatile?" —Annie Campbell

Crispy Rice Sushi Bites (Copycat Nobu Recipe)

"This light yet decadent dish has a gorgeous presentation and delicious combination of flavors that will make you feel like a gourmet chef in your very own kitchen." —Annie Campbell

Crispy Feta Eggs

"Fried feta eggs are exactly what they sound like: eggs cooked with crumbled feta until the whites are set, the yolks are nice and jammy, and the feta has become crispy around the edges. You can either serve themsunny-side up, or you can cover the pan with a lid to allow the steam to finish cooking them." —Nea Arentzen

Creamy Lemonade

"This three-ingredient creamy lemonade is a great refresher for those hot summer days." —Yoly

Cowboy Caviar

"Wonderful side dish/salad, really interesting and fresh flavors. The cilantro and jalapeño give it that oomph. Perfect and REALLY easy." —Sarah Philbrick

Cowboy Butter

Corn Ribs

"This was so fantastic and so easy to make! Definitely get a bit of color on the corn to enjoy the flavors. The hardest part was trying to cut the corn evenly. If you can master that process, the rest is simple. Will definitely make again!" —fruitdog

Easy Cloud Bread

"Made it exactly as written ... absolutely wonderful. While it doesn't taste like ciabatta or sliced processed bread, it does fill that void and makes great sandwiches. Next, I'm making long 'rolls' for hot dogs! Super easy and fun to make!" —Mary C

Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos

"I made these yesterday and my family loved them! And it was so easy! I used soft taco shells and I shredded the chicken about 45 minutes prior to serving and put the shredded chicken back in the crock pot. That allowed it to absorb the flavors better and it was very juicy and tender." —Tanya Ruth McDonnell

TikTok Candied Kielbasa Bites

"Big hit! Really well received! By the time these cooled, though, the sauce was thick like caramel, just FYI. All in all — fun recipe and would make again!" —DREGINEK

3-Ingredient Boursin Cheese Pasta

"This recipe is very good as is. Made it for two people as a side. I might need to add a bit more Boursin to get it creamier. Be mindful about it and do not let it dry up. Remove it immediately from the heating source as soon as your tomatoes are warm! I sprinkled some dried oregano for extra aroma and flavor. Will make it again." —plates4u

Wine Slushies (With Ice Cream Maker)

"I never would have thought of using my ice cream machine to make a party-size batch of grown-up slushies. I made sure everything was really cold before I put it in the machine, and I cut back on the sugar just a bit. Really love this idea and I'm definitely doing it again." —foodelicious

Bean and Cheese Toasterdilla

"Who knew you could make a quesadilla in your toaster? Meet the toasterdilla! Once you get the hang of folding them, they're a breeze to put together and something the kids can make, too. Serve with sour cream and salsa." —France C

Mason Jar Ice Cream

Make this TikTok-famous dessert with just four ingredients (heavy whipping cream, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and kosher salt) and a mason jar.

Bacon-Wrapped Pickles

"These taste amazing. The flavors complement each other perfectly. The only discrepancy I had was the cooking time. Recipe called for 12 to 15 minutes, but it took me closer to 30 for the bacon to brown. Worth the wait!" —Greg M.

TikTok Air-Fried PB&J

"First thing I ever cooked in my air fryer. It was great and very easy — a nice twist on the standard PB&J sandwich!" —James DeSantis

Air Fryer Oreos

"I used Bisquick — these were really, really good. And so very quick to make! Will definitely make again as my whole family enjoyed them." —Swati

Air Fryer Chocolate Chip Cookie Bites

"These tasted great. Mine did not spread, but that might be because I made the dough earlier this month and had to freeze it. I did thaw before air frying, but still no spreading. Tasty little nuggets, though!" —JARRIE

TikTok Air Fryer Bagel Chips

"Crispy, flavorful bagel chips are toasted in the air fryer for maximum crunch. Add to a cheese board or pair with your favorite party dips. This recipe works best with day-old, stale bagels that haven't been sliced." —Annie Campbell
