Halloween Oreo Balls Halloween Sugar Cookies

As much as I love all the sweet Halloween desserts at a party like my Halloween Oreo balls or Halloween sugar cookies, it’s nice to have a lighter option too. That’s where this Halloween veggie tray comes in. It’s easy to make, kid-friendly, gluten-free, and a fun way to get little ones to eat more vegetables.

The festive platter is arranged in a fun pumpkin shape, making it one of our favorite healthy Halloween snack ideas. With just 4 ingredients (plus your favorite dip), it comes together in 10 minutes. Serve it alongside Halloween pizzas before heading out to trick-or-treat!

How to Make a Halloween Veggie Tray

Since this is a veggie pumpkin tray, it helps to use a large, circular platter. Then all you’ll need is 2 bowls for the dip and the remaining ingredients below.

Arranging the carrots and cucumbers on a plate for a Halloween pumpkin veggie tray.
  • Cucumbers: Slice the cucumber, then spread the slices across the bottom of the Halloween themed platter to make a smile.
  • Carrots: These are used for the body of the Jack-o-Lantern since they are orange. After you add the bowls for the dip (eyes) and the cucumber slices (smile), just fill in any remaining white space with the baby carrots.
  • Celery: Slice the celery stalk into about 2-3 inch pieces, then place them vertically at the top center of the platter to make the pumpkin stem.
  • Black olives: Place these on top of the carrots in the center of the tray, below the dip bowls and above the cucumbers to make the nose.
  • Dips: You’ll need 2 small bowls to make both eyes of the pumpkin. We love using this Greek yogurt dill dip.

Variations

Olives are hit or miss with most people, so you can swap them out with a red mini bell pepper or cherry tomatoes to make the nose if you prefer.

You can also use a few broccoli florets to make the stem if you don’t have any celery on hand.

More creamy dips you could try include ranch dressing, blue cheese, hummus dip, tzatziki or guacamole.

Serving Suggestions

Serve it as an appetizer, snack or easy side dish alongside these spooky mummy hot dogs, puking pumpkin with guacamole, Halloween punch with orange sherbet and Halloween deviled eggs.

This Halloween pumpkin veggie tray is a fun spin on a classic fruit and veggie platter that’s always a crowd favorite!
