Healthy Halloween recipes for parties and dinner

Healthy Halloween food looks spooky but is made from veg, fruit, eggs, fish or lean meat: chicken sausage mummies, monster guacamole with veg teeth, green witch’s soup and ghost bananas with skyr. Sweetness comes from fruit, dates or a little honey instead of refined sugar. You can make lots of it the day before.

Frequently asked questions

What can I make ahead for a Halloween party?

Make the witches’ fingers, muffins and bean dip the day before, and the stuffed eggs that morning. Make the guacamole, chicken sausage mummies and pizza fresh when your guests arrive.

What do kids like to eat at Halloween?

Anything that looks spooky and fits in their hands: chicken sausage mummies, bat-shaped crisps with dip, ghost bananas on sticks and spider web muffins. Eyes made from olives, radishes or raisins quickly turn veg into a monster.

What should I cook for dinner on Halloween?

Something warm for everyone: green witch’s soup, stuffed pumpkin faces with lentils, spaghetti with monster eyes or a pumpkin-face pizza on a baking tray.

What is witch’s soup?

In Germany, witch’s soup (Hexensuppe) is a red party soup of mince, peppers, onions and tomatoes, made creamy with cheese or cream. Here you’ll find a green version with broccoli, peas and a yoghurt spider web.

Which alcohol-free Halloween drinks can I make?

For example a magic potion of blood orange juice, ginger and sparkling water, with ‘eyes’ made from peeled grapes. For small children, cut the grapes in half.
