It is so simple and only a few ingredients needed. Scroll to the bottom to see the full recipe in the recipe card.

Substitutions and Additions

  • Change Dip – Feel free to make this perfect pumpkin Halloween veggie tray with your favorite dip. Serve with Hummus Dip or your Favorite Veggie Dip. You can serve the dip in an orange bell pepper.
  • Veggies – You can also make this veggie tray with different vegetables to change the look. You can use black olives for the eyes or cauliflower. An English cucumber would be perfect for the pumpkin stem.

Step by Step Instructions

  • Step 1 – Place the baby carrots on a large circular tray. You want to use enough carrots so that your tray is covered in the orange carrots as much as possible.
  • Step 2 – Place the sliced cucumbers on top of the carrots to make the shape of a mouth.
  • Step 3 – You need 2 small bowls and put them where the eyes go. Pour the ranch dip into the small bowls for the eyes.
  • Step 4 – Slice 1 celery stalk to use at the center of the top of the tray. This will be the stem for the pumpkin.
  • Step 5 – Don’t forget the nose. Place the mini bell pepper in the center of the tray for the nose.

Expert Tips

  • Fresh Vegetables – Try to also use fresh veggies so that they last longer when serving.
  • Serving – You can also put extra ranch dip in a large bowl and serve beside the pumpkin veggie tray. This is especially helpful if you have friends and family that love ranch and use a lot of it.

How to Store Leftovers

It is best to serve the day your prepare. But you can make the ranch dip ahead of time to save time and store in a mason jar. Store in the fridge until ready to serve.
