These Witches Broomsticks are a super healthy Halloween themed snack for kids, made with carrot and sweet mini peppers.
This morning when I was spiralizing carrots to make some carrot rice paella I decided that I wanted to use the leftover centre part to make a Halloween themed snack for Finn. I thought the carrot core would make an excellent broomstick handle but struggled to think of something to use for the broom head. I tried cucumber first but it fell apart. I then tried mini sweet peppers and they worked great. The carrot slotted perfectly into the tip of the pepper and they were easy sliced to represent the broom head.
Once you have the centres from spiralizing carrots then these Witches Broomsticks are a really quick snack to make. Slice the top and tails off of a mini pepper and scrape out the seeds, slide the carrot centre into the top of the pepper and then slice the pepper to represent a broom head. Put your kids' favourite dip into a dish and call it a witches cauldron.
A super healthy, easy and fun Halloween snack.
