This Carrot Autumn Leaves Platter is a fun way to add an autumnal touch to your Thanksgiving grazing boards.

You can also enjoy these fun carrots on their own as a fresh veggie platter on the big day.

Serve with a delicious creamy dill dip made with only a few ingredients. Yum.

If you are short on time, you don't have to shape all the carrot pieces into leaves - make 7-10 and arrange these on top of regular-cut carrot sticks or discs.
