Intro

Remember when we told you naan can pizza? Well, this Halloween, naan can also be a mummy! 👻 These Mummy Naan Pizzas are spooky, silly and ready in about 20 minutes, which makes them the perfect quick dinner before trick-or-treating or a fun bite for your Halloween party.

Strips of mozzarella turn into mummy bandages, olives become googly eyes, and mini naan makes the perfect little face. Kids love wrapping their own mummies, so put them to work in the kitchen! Set out bowls of toppings, let everyone build their own, and get ready for some seriously goofy faces.

Quick Facts

• Prep time: 10 minutes
• Cook time: 10 minutes
• Servings: 4 (8 mini mummies)
• Diet: Vegetarian (check that your mozzarella uses non-animal rennet if that matters to you)

Ingredients

• 8 mini naan (or 4 regular naan, cut in half)
• 1 cup pizza or marinara sauce
• 8 oz low-moisture mozzarella block (or fresh mozzarella, patted dry)
• 1/4 cup sliced black olives
• 1/2 cup baby spinach or finely chopped bell pepper (optional hidden veggies)
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
• Fresh basil to garnish

Prep and Bake

1. Heat the oven: Preheat to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
2. Sauce it up: Place the naan on the sheet and spread about 2 tablespoons of sauce on each, leaving a small border.
3. Hide the veggies: Scatter the spinach or bell pepper over the sauce. The mummy bandages will cover them up, shhh!
4. Make the bandages: Slice the mozzarella into thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide. Lay them across the naan in a crisscross pattern, leaving a little gap near the top for the eyes.
5. Add the eyes: Place two olive slices in the gap for spooky eyes.
6. Bake: Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the cheese melts and the edges of the naan turn golden.
7. Finish: Sprinkle with oregano, add a little basil and serve warm.

Tips and Twists

• Keep it cold: Cheese strips stay neater when the mozzarella is cold, so slice it straight from the fridge.
• Make it vegan: Use a plant-based mozzarella and check that your naan is dairy free.
• Eye-deas: No olives? Try sliced cherry tomatoes, peas or tiny bits of bell pepper for eyes.
• Make it a meal: Serve with a crunchy green salad or a bowl of soup for a balanced Halloween dinner.
• Party prep: Assemble the mummies ahead, keep them covered in the fridge and bake just before guests arrive.
