Method
 

  1. Wash the cucumbers and carrots thoroughly, then peel the carrots for a smooth surface.
  2. Cut the cucumbers into 1/4-inch thick slices; aim for uniform rounds that will serve as ghost bodies.
  3. Slice the carrots into thin rounds about the same thickness as the cucumber slices for consistency.
  4. Arrange the cucumber slices and carrot rounds on a serving platter, alternating or clustering them to resemble floating ghosts.
  5. Use tiny strips of black olives to create tiny eyes; if needed, secure with a toothpick for stability.
  6. Place the olive eyes onto each veggie piece, giving each ghostly figure a spooky face.
  7. Arrange the veggie ghosts with their spooky faces all over the platter, creating a whimsical haunted landscape.
  8. Optional: Add extra decorative elements like small herbs or edible glitter for more eerie effects.
  9. Serve immediately to enjoy the crisp texture and spooky presentation, perfect for Halloween parties.
