Spooky yet Nutritious: The Mummy Minipizza
Unleash the Power of Pumpkin Puree
When it comes to Halloween treats, why settle for just spooky when you can also sneak in some extra nutrition? By disguising a minipizza as a mummy, you can add a boost of beta carotene from pumpkin puree, making this snack both fun and healthy.
Gather Your Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 4 whole-wheat English muffins or pita pockets
- 1 cup whole-wheat English muffins or pita pockets
- Sliced black olives
- Green or red peppers
- 4 pieces string cheese or cheese slices
Bring Your Mummy to Life
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, or use your microwave for a quick fix. Spread 1 tablespoon of pumpkin puree onto each half of an English muffin (or 2 tablespoons on each pita). Cover the puree with pizza sauce, creating the perfect base for your mummy’s wrapping.
Add the Finishing Touches
Use sliced black olives to create the eyes, adding small slices of red or green pepper for pupils. Then, lay strips of cheese across the pizza, mimicking the mummy’s wrappings. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve and Enjoy
These adorable mummy minipizzas are sure to be a hit at any Halloween gathering. With their nutritious twist, you can feel good about serving them to kids and adults alike. So go ahead, get creative, and unwrap the fun!
