Mummy meatballs: a vegetarian Halloween recipe

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375° F.

Step 2

Spread out your frozen meatballs on a sheet pan and let them defrost a bit while you prepare the dough.

Step 3

Open your package of dough and gently roll it out onto a large cutting board or work surface. Using the tips of your fingers, gently pinch together the dotted lines and flatten them out so that you don't have any holes in the dough.

Step 4

Cut 1/4" strips in the dough width-wise using a large knife or a pizza cutter. You will need 24 strips. You may not need all of the dough.

Step 5

Gently wrap 2 strips around each meatball, creating a mummy like look and leaving a small area for the eyes. (see photos above)

Step 6

Place them back on the sheet pan and bake in the oven for 13-15 minutes or until the dough is golden brown.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Until they are still warm but cool enough to handle.

Step 8

To make the eyes: dip the end of a toothpick into marinara sauce and dab a small drop of the sauce onto the exposed part of the meatball. Do this twice to make 2 eyes. (see photos above)

Step 9

Serve immediately with marinara sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
