Equipment

  • Paring knife
  • Cutting board
  • Toothpicks or edible markers
  • Serving platter

Method
 

  1. Start by washing and drying all your vegetables thoroughly to ensure they’re crisp and clean.
  2. Using the paring knife, carefully cut cucumbers into small, rounded ghost shapes—these will serve as the main bodies.
  3. Slice the carrots into thin rounds or small strips to create playful arms or accents for the ghosts, if desired.
  4. Arrange the cucumber ghosts on a serving platter, spacing them out to create a spooky scene.
  5. Decorate each ghost with edible eyes or black sesame seeds glued on with a tiny dab of cream cheese or frosting to give them expressive faces.
  6. If you want to add more detail, use toothpicks to secure small carrot pieces as arms or to attach extra features onto the ghosts.
  7. Optionally, arrange snap peas or other vegetables around the ghosts for added color and crunch.
  8. Take a step back and check that all the ghosts look playful and cute, adjusting their features if needed for maximum charm.
  9. This vibrant, whimsical platter is ready to serve and will bring playful fun to your Halloween table!
