To bring you a post full Halloween food creations! This contribution of a fun good ‘ole veggie jack o’ lantern. Last October, I had some Halloween recipe fun with black olives. So, I thought the veggie jack o’ lantern needed some love of its own! It’s easy to make and is perfect for a healthy, festive Halloween treat!Pumpkin Veggie Tray
Ingredients:
– 2 to 4 1 lb. bags of baby carrots (depending on the size of your platter)
–2 cans of black olives
– cucumber, broccoli, or celery for the stem
Directions:
Fill a large plate/platter with baby carrots and use black olives to make the face of the jack o’ lantern. Start by outlining the spaces for the olives with carrots. Once they are somewhat in place, put one layer of olives down (most of them cut in half). Then to make the platter look fuller & more 3D, add more carrots and a second layer of olives. It made a big difference in it looking more like a pumpkin! The stem is a just a cut cucumber chunk. Super easy & a perfect, healthy option for a Halloween party!
