Step 1

Wash, chop and roast your winter squash on a baking sheet for around 20 minutes on 400 °F (200 °C). You can leave it plain or season with salt, pepper, thyme and maple syrup.

Step 2

In the meantime, wash and chop the broccoli, celery, carrots, radishes and tomatoes. Arrange them in a nice pattern towards the edges of your appetizer platter. Prepare your seasonal fruit the same way.

Step 3

Open your canned goods and put them in small bowls. Different varieties of hummus (store-bought or homemade), olives and chutney or jam are good choices.

Step 4

Add your vegan cheese to the middle of the board, this is going to be the star!

Step 5

Grab some packs of crackers and other dippable baked goods and fill in the spots that are left on the party platter.

Step 6

Decorate with some nuts and fresh herbs or spices.
