Mummy Carrot Dogs
Ingredients
- 8 carrot
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 1/2 tsp chipotle chili powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 roll crescent dough sheet
- mustard yellow, for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400ºF. Toss carrots in oil and spices. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast until soft, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
- Lay crescent dough sheet out on a cutting board. Slice into thin strips. You will only use about half the sheet. Use the remaining sheet for whatever you like. I baked it with thinly sliced apple and cinnamon on top for dessert!
- Wrap each carrot with crescent dough strips to look like a mummy. Leave space for a "face".
- Return to oven and bake until crescent dough is puffed and lightly brown, 10-12 minutes.
- Let cool slightly, then use mustard to create the eyes. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce!

Thinking about hosting a Halloween party or simply need a dish to bring to a Halloween gathering, this recipe is so clever and easy to make. Mummy carrot dogs are sure to be a big hit and a very clever way for kids to eat vegetables with a smile.
