This Halloween veggie platter uses baby carrots and black olives to form a jack-o'-lantern face. Start by making the eyes with cookie cutters and olives, then surround them with carrots. Finish by filling the bottom with olives for a festive, healthy snack.
Ingredients
Directions
- Place a cookie cutter about 1 inch from the top left edge of the platter. Fill the cutter with black olives to form the left eye.
- Arrange baby carrots around the cookie cutter, all pointing the same direction, to create a barrier. Do not start the right eye yet.
- Gently press down on the olives, then carefully lift the cookie cutter straight up to remove it.
- Repeat steps 1–3 on the top right side of the platter to make the right eye.
- Place a line of carrots lengthwise beneath the eyes, then run another line along the bottom of the platter until both ends meet the top carrots. Each line should be two layers thick.
- Fill the remaining empty space at the bottom of the platter with black olives, arranging them to cover any gaps.
