How to Make Mummy Meatballs

Unroll the crescent roll dough and pinch the seam between each triangle to create a solid sheet. Cut the sheet into strips around ¼ inch wide.

Wrap the strips around the meatballs, using two to three strips per meatball.

Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees.

Place the meatballs in an even layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they aren’t touching.

Cook the meatballs in batches, if needed.

Air fry the meatballs for five to seven minutes until the crescent rolls are golden brown.

Before serving, place two sliced olives on each meatball to create the mummy’s eyes.

They're easy to make and pretty flavorful on their own. But if you want to get fancy, serve them with a bowl with a marinara sauce for dipping.

Enjoy and Happy Halloween!
