Aside from decorating your home with some spooky decor and wearing fun costumes, Halloween also needs some scary but tasty recipes. And whether you’re hosting a Halloween party or just want to serve some fun dishes to your family, there are always plenty of healthy Halloween recipes you can make.
Because while the Halloween season is meant for indulging and enjoying plenty of sweet treats, sometimes it can be nice to have healthy Halloween ideas that don’t leave you feeling not so good.
So feel free to enjoy your Halloween celebrations and have fun, but also know that there are healthy Halloween treats with nutritious ingredients that are also super tasty!
1. Eyeballs Pasta
Get everyone in the Halloween mood with this kinda gory, kinda goofy pasta dish. This green festive recipe is made with spinach, and the eyeballs are just cheese and olives. Pretty simple, delicious, and healthy!
GET THE RECIPE2. Graveyard Chicken Enchilada Dip
Serve up a “scary” chicken enchilada dip before you head out for trick-or-treating. Or just bring out this healthy Halloween food for your Halloween gathering. Either way, it’s gonna be a fun and easy appetizer for the evening!
Side Note: The recipe does call for cream cheese which can be substituted out for healthier ricotta cheese.
GET THE RECIPE3. Bloody Cups
The fall weather and the spooky season calls for delicious, festive Halloween treats.
And this vegan, gluten-free dessert recipe will get you in the mood for a (kind of) frightful night. No food coloring needed, a cup of frozen raspberries will make these chocolate cups look pretty bloody.
GET THE RECIPE4. Stuffed Jack O Lantern Bell Peppers
I’m sorry, but these jack-o-lantern stuffed bell peppers look almost too cute to eat (almost). With slow cooked, spiced chicken, cheese, and Mexican rice, this is kind of the perfect main to enjoy for your Halloween feast.
GET THE RECIPE5. Loaded Mashed Potato Spider Web Casserole
If you’re craving something crunchy, creamy, savory, and cheesy, then this loaded mashed potato casserole is your answer for the evening. This recipe is the perfect Halloween comfort meal that’s simple (and fun) to make.
Also, if you wanna make this recipe healthy, then I’d suggest testing and subbing out the sour cream for a good quality Greek yogurt (the better the quality, the creamier/better the flavor). And for the half n half, I’d test out different types of vegan milks that’ll get you the same flavor and results.
GET THE RECIPE6. Silly Apple Bites
They’re silly, easy to make, and best of all, they’re healthy Halloween treats your kids (and probably the adults) will be begging for.
GET THE RECIPE7. Vegan Halloween Pudding Cups
These vegan Halloween pudding cups are guilt-free chocolatey sweet treats that I’m pretty sure are gonna be the highlight of your dessert table. Just use your creativity skills to make it an even more spooky, yummy dessert.
And if you wanna make this Halloween dessert recipe even healthier, I’d try testing out different sweeteners like dates instead of cane sugar.
GET THE RECIPE8. Sugar Skull Fruit Pizza
This recipe may not be the spookiest, but it is healthy(ish), cute, and festive! Just make sure to go through the ingredient list and see how you’d personally like to make it even healthier.
