TikTok is full of users ready to impart some of their favorite snack recipes to the world — that's one of the main reasons you probably love it so much. From your "For You" page, you've discovered baked feta pasta and the bussin' "nature's cereal," which even had Lizzo raving. But the latest foodie trend — TikTok's spicy pickled garlic — has a lot of TikTokers divided.
The spicy pickled garlic recipe comes from TikToker Lala (@lalaleluu), who first posted a video raving about the tasty snack at the beginning of April 2021. That video now has over 100k likes, which is why Lala decided to post a follow-up video showing how to make the spicy pickled garlic snack. Luckily for you, it only takes four ingredients:
- Pickled garlic
- Sriracha sauce
- Thyme
- Chili pepper flakes
Not only does it take very few ingredients, but this recipe is so easy to make, which is why tons of TikTokers have decided to try it out for themselves.
If you're not a big fan of spicy food and hesitant about eating pickled garlic, it may not be the dish for you. However, if you're down to try anything, you'll definitely want to check out these five spicy pickled garlic TikToks to know just how to make some for yourself at home.
If you don't happen to have some pickled garlic but you do have the cloves, make some homemade pickled garlic. Just follow TikToker @unlicensedtomom's tutorial by putting some garlic, dill, rosemary, coriander, pepper, thyme, and white vinegar in a jar to sit out overnight. Once you have your pickled garlic, follow @lalaleluu's recipe with the rest of the ingredients.
Since this is a recipe that @lalaleluu experimented with, you can also play around with the ingredients to get a spicy pickled garlic you prefer. If you're not a fan of spicy things, you'll probably feel the same way TikToker @annapaulbackup did about it being "really hot." You may also agree that the thyme is not needed for this dish either.
If you're like TikToker @3kelsie, you may feel like you have to try every new trend on your "For You" page. Sometimes, it's a bad decision, but in this case, it's a good one. Even @3kelsie admits that the spicy pickled garlic is delicious, and it may just be your new fave snack.
No chili pepper flakes? No problem. TikToker @kylethomas uses Tajin seasoning instead, and claims it's "really good." Just make sure you're using fresh pickled garlic, so your breath doesn't suffer the next day.
