Before pumpkins, jack o’lanterns were carved from root vegetables. We carve golden beets instead, roast them until tender, and drizzle them with a brown sugar and apple cider glaze. Devilishly delicious.
Roasted dumpling squash, crisp apple, kale, and pepitas make a healthy base. Grinning mozzarella skulls, shaped in a candy mold, and a homemade fig and honey vinaigrette make it a Halloween showpiece.
One blackberry, one blueberry, a little melted chocolate, and two candy eyes. That’s all it takes to make these funny, delicious Halloween spiders for your cheese board, dessert, or sundae.
