Witchy Guacamole Face

Who says you can’t play with your food? This slightly spooky avocado witch is made with things from the ranch and a little imagination.

Happy Cooking!

What You’ll Need

  • Guacamole: ripe avocados, fresh lemon juice and salt

  • Witch’s hat: blue corn tortilla chips

  • Hair: shredded carrots

  • Eyes: hard-boiled egg slices from my nephew’s hens, with little caper berry tip pieces for pupils

  • Nose: a garlic clove with a caper “wart”

  • Mouth: a red pepper from the garden

  • Finishing touch: a cucumber flower tucked into her hair


Make Your Witch

Spread the guacamole into a long face on a platter or shallow dish. Don’t worry about making her too perfect—a witch deserves a few lumps and bumps.


Pile shredded carrots around the sides for her wild orange hair. Arrange the blue corn chips across the top to make a suitably crooked witch’s hat.


Add slices of hard-boiled egg for big googly eyes. Give her a garlic-clove nose, complete with a caper wart, and use a whole red pepper for her dramatic mouth.


Finally, tuck a cucumber flower into her carrot hair. Even witches like to dress up.


From Our Ranch

The avocados, lemon, garlic, capers, caper berries, peppers and cucumber flower were grown right here on the ranch, and the eggs came from my nephew’s hens. The carrots and blue corn chips did have to come from the store, but we haven't figured out how to grow tortilla chips yet.

You can use whatever ingredients you have to embellish her.

Serve with extra blue corn chips and enjoy your witch before she disappears!
