Some of the most viral posts on TikTok and other social media these days show us mouthwatering easy recipes, healthy options, vegan dishes or just comfort food. Whether it's a short video on TikTok, an Instagram reel, or a 15-minute YouTube film, watching food videos can be relaxing and inspiring at the same time.

But what if you struggle to find gluten-free options to keep up with these food trends? The good news is that we are here to help you on your way with gluten-free alternatives and tricks.

TikTokers’ favourites

We have selected some of the most viral food trends on TikTok and adapted them so you can source a gluten-free version!

1. Pesto Eggs

This 5-minute gluten-free recipe is made with a large slice of Schär Landbrot bread, a thin layer of spreadable cheese and a fried egg cooked with 1 or 2 spoons of gluten-free basil pesto. Decorate your pesto eggs with a sprinkle of sea salt and chilli flakes. Delicious!

2. The Burger Wrap

Another trending recipe is the "wrapped" hamburger: typical burger fillings but in a different jacket – a wrap! You can sample it by filling our gluten-free wraps with your favourite ingredients, including a burger (meat or plant-based), salad, onion rings and tangy cheddar cheese. Place the ingredients on the 4 segments of the bread and fold it like a tortilla wrap.

3. The Green Goddess Salad

This truly tasty and juicy salad is simple to make with a mix of green salad ingredients, including cabbage, cucumber, chives and scallion – all very finely chopped (the secret to this recipe) – and a delicious dressing made from onion, garlic, spinach, basil, extra virgin olive oil, a splash of vinegar, nutritional yeast and a handful of cashews, all blended together. It is not only gluten-free but vegan friendly, too!

4. Butter Boards

Butter boards have become the ultimate viral recipe, with everyone having a go at their own version. Spread room-temperature softened butter on a dish or a small board and then get creative – you can add your favourite finely chopped greens, seeds, dried fruit, herbs and even edible flowers before drizzling with balsamic vinegar or another favourite dressing. Serve with toasted slices of gluten-free bread.
