We love a Good theme. Even when we’re wrapped up in hardcore adulting, theme-heavy happenings like Halloween give us all the permission we need to get crafty, creative and feel social with purpose.

These mini pumpkin-carrot tarts come to us from Chef Jeffrey Nimer of Haute Chefs LA and you’ve got to taste them to believe. Simple recipes that taste this good are one of the reasons this catering company has so many A-list foodies as clients and why we book Chef Jeffrey whenever we can.

Jeffrey and team shared these tarts as a perfect inclusion for Halloween spreads: They look the part in black and orange, but sneak in plenty of nutrition. They may not be mini kale smoothies, but, hey, it’s Halloween and these babies might save some poor soul from one less mini Snickers bar. If you’re really feeling advanced, try this gluten-free chickpea flour and olive oil option for the tart crust as well!
