With Halloween just one day away, creepy-themed parties and gatherings will be taking place worldwide over the next few evenings. If you’re playing host this spooky season, but are yet to decide on what food to serve your ghostly guests, British celebrity restaurateur and cookbook author Jamie Oliver has potentially come to your rescue.
The “Naked Chef” (so-called because of his early television shows’ concept of “stripping down” cooking to its bare essentials), 50, took to Instagram to share a wonderfully creative chilling culinary idea for those Halloween get-togethers.
Jamie Oliver’s Spooky Food Idea Is ‘Really Easy’ to Make
Jamie Oliver shared his idea — an extremely tasty looking grazing board — in a 30-second video on his Instagram account, which has a whopping 10.6 million followers. The video begins with blood-curdling scream and a red-eyed Oliver surrounded by Halloween imagery, including pumpkins, bats, and eerie looking woodland.
The caption accompanying his video reads, “This grazing board is devilishly good…and proof that Halloween doesn’t just have to be for the kids!! really easy to whip up too I think they look really good!! Link is in my bio for all the recipes you need to trick and treat your guests xx.”
The delicious food Oliver talks about from his Halloween grazing board includes devilled eggs, baked camembert, roasted grapes, houmous, and roasted butternut squash. However, as the link he refers to in the caption reveals, there’s more to it than that.
‘Spooky Spicy Olives’ and ‘Freaky Flatbreads’ Complete the Grazing Board’s Offerings
Getty.As described in the recipe for Jamie Oliver’s Halloween grazing board on his official website, the full list of spooky-themed delights it comprises are; Halloween houmous, purple pickled devilled eggs, ‘oooo’zy baked camembert and roasted grapes, spooky spicy olives, freaky flatbreads, and melon and prosciutto skewers.
There is, of course, a Halloween twist to the usual flavors of several of those dishes, with the houmous containing roast pumpkin and the devilled eggs containing red chillis, for example.
Per Oliver’s recipe instructions, none of the snacks that make up his Halloween grazing board should take more than 30 minutes to make — and they do all sound simple enough for even the most inexperienced of culinary wizards (and witches) to successfully weave their magic on.
Oliver’s followers certainly seemed impressed with his idea. One wrote, “👏👏 Oh yes!!! Love these eggs 😍looking forward to trying it.”
Another commented, “Woow!!!🎃 ❤️👏👏👏” and someone else simply said, “Wonderful 👌🥰.”
We have to agree. So, why not give Jamie Oliver’s Halloween grazing board a try? It really couldn’t be easier to put together.
