Charcuterie boards are taking the virtual world by storm, I mean, probably because they’re so easy to put together and you can make a gorgeous spread out of whatever you’d like really! Charcuterie boards are perfect for holiday entertaining because they look so fancy schmancy but are really a no-fuss board of perfection.

Traditionally, charcuterie boards are a collection of meats and cheeses to nibble on while you wait for the main course. But we’re breaking all the rules, and let me tell you, no apologies here because this was one bomb snack!

How To Make This UnBEETable Autumn Charcuterie Board:
First, find yourself a gorgeous board! It can be any shape you’d like, you could even do any material. You’ll then want to make a list (I’m a huge list person) of foods that are vibrant, have different textures, some sweet, some savory. When I’m thinking about putting my charcuterie board together I like to include vegan cheese (store bought or homemade), a couple different kind of crackers, a variety of fruit, chocolate, nuts, dips, kale chips, and my new favorite snacking food- cooked beets from Love Beets! Don’t be afraid to pack your board full, really pile it on there people 😉 .
Veggies: Love Beets Organic Cooked Beets, cheesy beet kale chips, pumpkin hummus
Cheese: Vegan cashew cheese, vegan sun-dried tomato cashew cheese
Nuts: homemade pumpkin seeds (store bought would be fine too), pistachios
Fruits: figs, raspberries, grapes, strawberries, dried apricots, apple, pomegranate seeds, golden raisins
Crackers: rice cakes, gluten-free everything crackers, gluten free crisp bread
Sweets: vegan chocolate, strawberry beet chia jam, sweetened beet popcorn
Garnishes: fresh autumn flowers and fresh mint (optional)

The strawberry beet chia jam, sweetened beet popcorn, and cheesy beet kale chips are homemade and really simple staples to include on this board, all made with Love Beets Beetroot Powder. Don’t worry, I also included those recipes below!

You might not typically think of beets as a snacking food, but because Love Beets does all the hard work trimming, peeling, and cooking the beets for us, we don’t have to! I’ve definitely been trying to add more beets to my diet because they have so many nutritional benefits, they paired perfectly with the other in season foods in this autumn charcuterie board. To help cut down on time before serving, wash your produce ahead of time, then you just have to lay it all out and dive in!

Don’t forget to snap a photo of your gorgeous autumn charcuterie board, pop onto social media, and tag me on Instagram or Facebook. Happy snacking!

The Sweetened Beet Popcorn is adapted from my Superfood Rainbow Popcorn and the Strawberry Beet Chia Jam is adapted slightly from the chia jam I used in my Protein Almond Butter Cups.
