As a gamer with a knack for trying out new culinary adventures between gaming sessions, I must admit that I’ve been intrigued by this onion boil trend taking over TikTok. Being on a budget and always looking for quick yet flavorful recipes, I decided to give it a shot.


Frequently referred to as one of the visually appealing versions of economical meals, the “onion boil” has been gaining popularity on TikTok.

On TikTok, people flock to discover simple yet scrumptious recipe ideas, as videos of dishes such as Baked Feta Pasta and Logan Moffitt’s cucumber salad persistently trend and grow in popularity.

This autumn, the app’s current favorite snack craze is the ‘onion boil.’ To everyone’s surprise, it’s a simple yet powerfully flavored sensation.

Initially shared on TikTok by user doll_mimi during the summer, an unanticipated treat has been gaining popularity, particularly since October. Many users have been recreating and personalizing their own adaptations of it.

Often referred to as an “economical meal” due to its low cost and simple components, the onion boil is a thrifty yet incredibly flavorful treat that’s gaining widespread popularity.

How to make TikTok’s viral onion boil recipe

Begin by getting your onion ready – chop off its ends and discard, followed by peeling off its outer layers. The seasonings can be tailored to your preference, with doll_mimi emphasizing that there’s no strict rule about what’s correct.

Instead, her renowned version incorporates a drizzle of oil combined with garlic salt, garlic powder, paprika, turmeric, black pepper, and Trader Joe’s 21 Seasoning Salute for a harmonious mix of seasonings. To finish, a dollop of butter is placed on top to melt and infuse the layers as it cooks.

As a dedicated gamer, I’d say: Crank up the air fryer to 350°F and let the onions cook for about 25 minutes. The secret to knowing when they’re ready is all about texture – you want them soft yet still holding together.

According to the TikTok user’s recommendation, the middle part should gently sway when pushed but hold its overall form. Once cooked, discard any tough or crunchy exterior and prepare for a tasty treat. Feel free to sprinkle some salt while you peel away each tender layer.

The popularity of this has skyrocketed, as TikTok users create videos showcasing themselves boiling onions or concocting unique spice blends, accumulating countless views on their content.
