"Learn to Love Veggies" Tip

Sometimes kids will surprise you and take a bite of a veggie that's not cut in a "normal" shape such as a bell pepper strip or carrot "coin". Don't be surprised if your kiddo decides to take a big bite out of the bell pepper jack-o-lantern like they'd take a bite of an apple!

Bell Pepper Jack-o-Lanterns

These Pepper Pumpkins are a festive and simple jack-o-lantern inspired snack!

Ingredients

• Orange bell pepper
• Dip for inside such as Hummus or Ranch
• Food for dipping such as peppers, cucumbers, pretzels, etc.

Instructions

1. Cut the top of the bell pepper off in a straight line. Open it up and remove the seeds and veins inside the pepper. Take your child-safe knife (or have an adult use a sharp knife) and cut two triangles out of the side of your pepper. Next, cut the shape of a mouth below the eyes. Remove the cut pieces from the pepper.
2. Next, fill it with your favorite dip and dippers! The best part is that you can eat the whole thing after you eat the inside!
