    Easy mushroom skulls are a fun way to enjoy vegetables at Halloween. You can enjoy making these Halloween mushrooms with the kids too.

    We made these mushroom skulls as part of our keto Halloween celebrations and served them in many different ways. These tiny skulls make a healthy vegan dish or appetizer.

    All you need to make this recipe is mushrooms and a firm straw to make the eyes. The faces can be carved with a sharp knife in a variety of patterns.

    WHAT TYPE OF MUSHROOMS ARE USED?

    For these Halloween mushroom skulls, you need a firm mushroom such as a button, cremini or brown mushroom.

    When choosing a mushroom, make sure that they are fresh and firm. Anything with a slight slimy texture should be left on the supermarket shelf!

    HOW TO USE MUSHROOM SKULLS

    The mushroom skulls can be cooked in a simple garlic and oil mixture and serve with a dip. Add them to soups or stews.

    Serve the cooked Halloween mushrooms with a black bean pasta. This is lower in carbohydrates than regular pasta. We served this with a spoonful of sundried tomato pesto sauce.

    Another way we served our spooky mushrooms is on a pizza. We used a Fathead dough pizza base to keep the recipe low carb. Cut them into squares with a mushroom skull on each square for individual portions.
