Prep Time: 30 min.

Carrots and hummus are a delicious and classic pairing, but let’s make it Spooky Carrots & Hummus with carved carrot ghosts.

Everyone will love this fun and healthy snack, which is great to serve as an appetizer or bring to a Halloween table! You can add more veggies like peppers and cucumbers to make it more colorful and varied.

You only need carrots, a knife, and candy eyes to turn simple carrot slices into spooky ghosts. If you don’t want to use candy eyes, simply carve out eyes with a metal straw!

For a cute detail, top the hummus with BOO cutouts made with carrots and alphabet cookie cutters.

Ingredients

Instructions

1. Place hummus in a small bowl.

2. Peel the carrots.

3. Slice them lengthwise.

4. Halve each slice, and round the top half with a knife.

5. Trim the bottom half into a zig-zag.

6. Use the metal straw to make the mouth.

7. Top with candy eyes or make holes for eyes with the straw.

8. Use the alphabet cutters to write 'BOO' out of carrot and stick the letters on top of the hummus.

9. Assemble the platter.

Notes

You can add cucumber and cheddar ghosts, too, which you make in the same way.
