Halloween is almost here again, and that means delicious temptations left and right! If you’re determined to stick to your Paleo guns throughout this treat laden holiday, then this spooky recipe from Paleo Diet Lifestyle is for you.
Mummy fingers! (Bacon wrapped sausages)
This is a simple and effective snack idea that the kids (big and small) will love and, contrary to popular belief, bacon and pork sausages can be really healthy, especially when buying the good kind from your butcher or local farmer coming from a well-fed and well-treated animal. This sack is ready in no time so it’s an ideal one to make when you’re short on time. The bacon around the sausages gives the impression of the fingers of a mummy, perfect for Halloween!
Ingredients
- 12 slices good quality bacon;
- 12 good quality breakfast pork sausages;
- 2 tbsp good quality dijon mustard, optional;
- Homemade salsa, baba ghanoush, guacamole, or other Paleo sauce to dip
Technique
- Preheat your oven to 375 F and wrap each slice of bacon around a sausage and place on a backing tray.
- Cook for 15 minutes and turn once during the cooking process.
- If using the mustard, remove the bacon wrapped sausages from oven and brush all over with the mustard.
- Mustard or not, return to the oven for another 10 to 15 minutes, until well cooked.
- Cool for 5 minutes and serve. You can also put the sausages on wooden skewers so the sausage fingers don’t leave your kid’s fingers too greasy and sticky.
- Serve with your favorite homemade paleo dip. A garlic flavored mayonnaise goes really well with this snack.
