Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 head cauliflower cut into small florets
  • some pieces black olives pitted, for eyes

Equipment

  • Serving platter
  • Small knife
  • Toothpicks or small skewers

Method
 

  1. Arrange cauliflower florets evenly on a serving platter to form a spooky ghostly landscape.
  2. Using a small knife, carefully cut a small slit in the top of each cauliflower floret to create a 'head' and allow space for eyes.
  3. Place a black olive into each slit to serve as the ghost's eyes, securing with a toothpick if needed.
  4. Adjust the cauliflower and olives to ensure they resemble tiny, floating ghost figures with expressive eyes.
  5. Optional: add extra cauliflower florets around the ghosts for a more sprawling, haunted scene. Serve immediately for a crisp, fresh crunch.

Notes

To enhance the spooky effect, you can shape the cauliflower florets slightly to resemble ghosts' heads and hang a small piece of cheese or edible paper as a spectral veil. This recipe is best enjoyed fresh for maximum crunch.
