Whip Up This Spooky Veggie Delight

Ingredients:

Tzatziki
Olive spider (see instructions above)
Bell peppers (stems on and halved)
Edible eyes
Persian cucumbers (sliced)
Rainbow carrots (halved lengthwise)
Celery ribs
Cherry tomatoes (halved)

Directions:

Start by placing the tzatziki in a small bowl and set it right in the center of your serving board. This will be the spooky centerpiece of your platter!
Top the tzatziki with the olive spider to give it that fun Halloween vibe.
Next, arrange the halved bell peppers around the tzatziki. You can choose to keep them together for a group look or separate them out. I like to mix it up a bit for variety!
Now, add a pair of edible eyes to each pepper half; this is where the magic starts to happen!
Fill in the board with slices of cucumbers, halved carrots, celery ribs, and cherry tomatoes. Separate each section to create a fun and colorful display that pops with fall colors!

Serving Your Halloween Veggie Platter

This festive platter is best served right after you assemble it. Make sure to encourage guests to dig in and enjoy the colorful veggies paired with the creamy tzatziki. Set it out near the treats to balance the candy with a healthy option, making it a great addition to any Halloween party!

Storing Leftovers from Your Festive Feast

If by chance you have leftover veggies (and that’s a big “if” at my house), you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge. Just make sure to keep the tzatziki separate to maintain freshness. It should stay tasty for a couple of days , if you can resist munching on it before then!

Tips for Perfecting Your Veggie Spread

Get your little ones involved! Let them help choose how to arrange the veggies and where to place the cute edible eyes.
Feel free to swap out any veggies for what you have on hand. Broccoli, snap peas, or any seasonal produce will work just fine.
Make it even more festive by cutting cheese into spooky shapes with cookie cutters!

Creative Variations for Your Halloween Platter

While this platter is pretty spooktacular as is, you can also add:

Mini ghost-shaped sandwiches using whole grain bread.
A dip made from hummus surrounded by more veggie characters.
A selection of seasonal fruits to add a sweet touch, like orange slices or pomegranates.

FAQs About Your Halloween Veggie Platter

1. Can I make the platter the night before?

Yes, you can prepare the veggie slices in advance! Just assemble everything the day of the party to keep the herbs and dips fresh.

2. How can I make this platter more kid-friendly?

Involve your kids in decorating! Let them pick their favorite veggies or add in some fun Halloween-themed snacks that pair well with the platter, like pumpkin hummus.

3. Are there any ingredients I should avoid for allergies?

Absolutely, always check with your guests about any food allergies before serving. You could easily substitute tzatziki with a basic yogurt dip or any dressing that fits your guests’ dietary needs.
