Veggie Jack O’ Lantern and 6 other festive Halloween treats!

I’ve teamed up with some blog­ging friends to bring you a post full Hal­loween food cre­ations! My con­tri­bu­tion to the fun is this good ‘ole veg­gie jack o’ lantern. Last Octo­ber, I had some Hal­loween recipe fun with black olives. But, the spi­der cheese­ball kinda over­shad­owed the other projects. 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!

Veg­gie Jack O’ Lantern

Sup­plies:

– 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!
