    The perfect edible jack-o-lantern: orange bell peppers! Get your kids in on the fun and have them choose what kind of spooky face to carve into these Bell Pepper Jack-o-Lanterns!

    Hummus Bell Pepper Jack-O-Lanterns

    Bell Pepper Jack-o-Lanterns

    Have you ever seen a spookier snack?! Orange bell peppers are the perfect base for these Bell Pepper Jack-o-Lanterns. Filling them with hummus just adds to their creepiness! I love how they look when the hummus starts spilling over. It always makes my kids laugh, too! Choose your favorite hummus to fill it up: Quick & Easy Creamy Hummus or my favorite seasonal Garlic Pumpkin Hummus. You could even make this with a Green Hummus for a classic slime look. Everyone loves seeing the spooky faces you create, and they're so fun to pull apart and dip in the hummus!

    Description

    Fill these Bell Pepper Jack-o-Lanterns with your favorite hummus for the spookiest vegan Halloween snack around!


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 4 orange bell peppers
    • 1 batch of my Quick and Easy Creamy Hummus or Pumpkin Garlic Hummus

    Instructions

    1. Slice the top off each bell pepper and use a knife to cut out the insides of the bell pepper (including the seeds).  Discard the insides/seeds and reserve the top with the stem.  If the bell pepper doesn't sit level slice a sliver off the bottom so that it will.
    2. Use a sharp knife (the tip needs to be very sharp) to cut a jack-o-lantern face into the bell pepper.  Spoon hummus into the bell pepper and place the top back on.
