This carrot swirled pumpkin, made with carrots and cucumbers, is a charming display for your festive table.
Serve the arrangement as a beautiful centerpiece for Halloween or Thanksgiving, or enjoy it as part of a veggie charcuterie board. You can even top it with large candy eyes to impress the kids! For another fun centerpiece, try my pumpkin-shaped vegetable platter with carrots and hummus.
Recipe Tip
Use your largest carrot peels to shape the outside of the pumpkin first. Then, fill the inside of the pumpkin.
