Healthy Halloween Recipes

Healthy Halloween recipes: yummy, scary healthy Halloween treats!

Simply create a suitably spooky atmosphere, turn off the lights, get a candle spluttering, and serve up some ghoulish monstrosities, for a fun Halloween celebration.

Kids also enjoy it if you ask them to suggest foul names for their favourite foods - the yukkier the better! It's all part of the Halloween fun.

Here are some of our favourite healthy Halloween recipes for savoury snacks and dishes.

• Roast bat – plump chicken thighs, rubbed with paprika and herbs to make them look suitably scabby, and baked in the oven.
• Dragon’s claws – take medium baking potatoes, cut in half lengthways, then split each half into two or three ‘claws’. Oil a baking tray, spread out the potato slices in a single layer, brush lightly with olive oil and bake in a moderate oven for 30 minutes until browned and tender.
• Congealed blood dip – none other than our old friend tomato ketchup.
• Griddled bat wings – chicken wings, grilled or broiled until blackening slightly at the edges.
• Maggots’ nest – mix cooked white rice with canned white beans (maggots).



• Witch’s fingers – thin chipolata sausages, baked in the oven until well-browned and suitably gnarled.
• Goblin’s brains – noodles, tossed in a little oil and mixed with cooked peas and sweetcorn niblets.
• A mummy’s innards – spaghetti bolognaise.
• Witch’s brew – any chunky soup will do fine for this. Add cubes of rat – aka chicken – for extra flavour.
• Dead man’s leg – use a vegetarian recipe for nut roast or lentil bake, shape it into a curved, thigh-like form and bake. Tomato sauce provides the blood…

Healthy Halloween recipes: desserts

• Black cat’s eyeballs – canned lychees, each one filled with a candied cherry.
• Hell-hound’s droppings – chocolate brownies, scattered with walnuts and broken up into suitably shaped pieces
• Ghoul’s face – serve rice pudding or smoothed vanilla ice cream in bowls, and trail a face across with chocolate syrup.
• Pumpkin balls – colour marzipan with orange food colouring, roll into small pumpkin-shaped balls and make a face on each with a skewer.
