They are also ridiculously easy to make.  

All you need is your favourite hot dog, brat or sausage, fettucini Shirataki noodles and some candy eyes...

Ridiculously easy, right?!

Serve them at on Halloween along with my Sugar-Free Meringue Ghosts (Low Calorie and Low Carb) and my Simple Vegan Chocolate Espresso Torte (Gluten-Free, Paleo, Keto, Nut-Free) for a SPOOK-TACULAR evening!

 

What ingredients do you need to make these Keto Halloween Mummy Dogs?

• 4 sausages
• 1 package (7 oz) shirataki noodles, drained and rinsed

 

What are Shirataki Noodles?

Also called “Miracle Noodles”, Shirataki noodles are translucent, gelatinous traditional Japanese noodles made from the konjac yam.

The word “shirataki” means white waterfall, referring to the appearance of these noodles.

 

Where can you buy Shirataki Noodles?

Almost all grocery stores carry these noodles.  They come packed in water and are usually located near the “vegan” refrigerated section of your grocery store.  You can also buy them from Amazon.

They can come in the shape of spaghetti/angel hair, fettucine or even shaped as rice.

I have found the best price for these noodles on Vitacost.  They usually go on sale as a BOGO deal every couple of months so I stock up when they do.

Shirataki noodles need to be stored in the fridge but can last up to 1 year in their package.

 

 

How does the nutritional value of Shirataki Noodles compare to using the standard Pillsbury Crescent rolls?

1 serving (113 GRAMS) of Shirataki noodles:

• 10 calories
• 0g fat
• 3 g carbs
• 3 g of fibre
• 0 g net carbs
• Ingredients: Water, konjac flour and calcium hydroxide.

1 Pillsbury Crescent roll:

• 77 calories
• 5 g fat
• 12 g carbs
• 0 g fibre
• Ingredients: Enriched Flour Bleached (wheat flour, niacin, ferrous sulfate, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), Water, Soybean and Palm Oil, Sugar, Hydrogenated Palm Oil, Baking Powder (baking soda, sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium aluminum phosphate).

 

As you can see, using Shirataki noodles instead of crescent rolls to make these cute and adorable Mummy Dogs saves you not only calories but also greatly reduces the number of carbs in each Mummy Dog.

 

 

 

How do you prepare Shirataki noodles?

• drain the noodles and rinse them well as they do have a somewhat unpleasant smell when you first remove them from their liquid
• once rinsed, squeeze any excess liquid using a cheesecloth, a clean kitchen towel or set them in strainer for about 5-10 minutes

 

Don't you have to dry roast the shirataki noodles?

Unlike my Keto Spaghetti Bake recipe, this recipe does not require you to dry roast the noodles as they will roast in the oven as you bake the sausage.

 

 

 

What type of sausage can you use to make these Keto Halloween Mummy Dogs?

You can use any type of sausage or hot dog of your choice.  Just be aware that the baking time will vary depending on which brand and type you use.

Make sure that you check the directions on the package and follow the cooking time listed.

 

How do you make these Keto Halloween Mummy Dogs?

To make the mummy wrap:

• Take 1 drained and rinsed shirataki noodle and starting at the head, wrap the noodle around the sausage.  If you are using large sausages, you may need 2-3 noodles.
• Place the Mummy dog with on the baking sheet
• bake for 20 minutes or until fully cooked through

To Make the Mummy's Eyes:

• after they are removed from the oven, you create eyes using mayo and then add black sesame seeds
• you can use candy eyes an place them on after they come out of the oven

 

Can you make these easy Mummy Dogs ahead of time?

If you want to prepare this recipe ahead of time, feel free to do so for up to 3 days.  When you are ready to serve the Halloween Mummy Dogs, simply place them in a 250-degree oven for about 10 minutes.
