I joined TikTok over a year ago, but I didn’t start posting regularly until a few months ago, probably because I wasn’t going anywhere. I love watching the dance-off videos, the sarcastic mom advice and the funny antics of people’s pets. You never know what you’ll find on TikTok! I haven’t really explored the app in full, but I have seen a lot of people posting their favourite recipes. I have modified a few popular TikTok recipes below. These recipes are very easy to make – the best kind in my opinion 😉
Accordion Potatoes
Accordion Potatoes, also known as Hasselback Potatoes or Baked Potato Fans, have an exterior layer that is quite crispy when cooked properly. They go well with herbs and garlic butter. They are also very easy to prepare and have a unique look that will level up your meal presentation.
Ingredients:
- 4 potatoes, Yukon Gold or Russet
- 2 Tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 2 teaspoons fresh minced parsley, tarragon or oregano
Preheat oven to 375°F. In a bowl, mix pepper, salt, minced garlic, butter and olive oil. Slice potatoes crosswise leaving half an inch at the bottom of each potato so the potato is still in one piece. Spread the butter-olive oil mixture over potatoes, ensuring that sides are adequately coated.
Place potatoes on a nonstick baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes. Potatoes should be golden brown. Garnish with fresh minced herbs such as parsley, tarragon or oregano.
Baked Oats
Who knew that baked oats could taste like cake when prepared a certain way? It takes only a few ingredients to make baked oats. The baking process is 22 minutes, so you won’t have to wait long to enjoy this delicious and nutritious breakfast.
Ingredients:
- Cooking spray
- 1/2 cup quick or rolled oats
- 1 egg
- 1 banana
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- A pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (optional)
- 1 apple, sliced
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a ramekin with cooking spray. Mix all ingredients except apple in blender for 60 seconds. Pour batter into ramekin and top with apple slices. Bake for 22 minutes.
Cool for 10 minutes before serving. You can store baked oats in your fridge for up to a week in an airtight container.
Baked Feta Pasta
Baked Feta Pasta is a popular TikTok recipe because it’s so easy to prepare. You can make it gluten-free by using rice, quinoa or chickpea pasta.
Ingredients:
- 10 oz. of pasta

- A pinch of salt
- 1 shallot, sliced in quarters

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Combine garlic, shallot, and tomatoes in an ovenproof skillet. Add Extra Virgin Olive Oil reserving a tablespoon of oil for later use. Add red pepper flakes and salt, and stir all ingredients together.
Place feta cheese on the center of tomato mixture. Drizzle remaining tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil over the feta cheese and tomato. Scatter sprigs of thyme on top of mixture. Bake for 43 minutes.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add pasta. Cook pasta until al dente, then drain.
Add pasta to tomato mixture and stir together, then add basil as a garnish and serve.
