So you’re hosting a Halloween party or attending a potluck and want to make sure there are some healthy Halloween snacks. The easiest and most versatile thing you can bring will always be a plate of vegetables, but how boring is that? Even with the slime green color of celery and blood red of cherry tomatoes it’s just not a very spooky food on its own. Like all Halloween recipes, the spooky look is all in the presentation. It’s what transforms a standard pile of fresh veggies into a puking pumpkin or spooky skeleton. First, start with a wild variety of colorful veggies or other whole foods. Think outside the box here. Start with the classics then branch out into some really exotic produce. Check out our huge list of Halloween colored foods for ideas. Then take a cue from these healthy Halloween party food ideas and transform your veggies with a little creative culinary magic. Be sure to consider the serving tray and surrounding presentation, too. Halloween plates do wonders for improving the look of a creepy meal.
