Ingredients
- 1 pound pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese (optional)
- 1/2 pound pepperoni or sausage
- 1/2 cup cooked chicken or sautéed mushrooms
- 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced
- 1/2 cup onions, diced
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 teaspoon oregano or Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking oil spray
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: Roll out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick.
- Add the fillings: On one half of the dough, layer your cheese, protein, and vegetables. Leave a small border around the edges.
- Season: Sprinkle on your preferred herbs and spices for an extra flavor kick.
- Fold and seal: Carefully fold the dough over the filling, creating a half-moon shape. Pinch the edges to ensure your treasures stay tucked inside!
- Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F and allow it to preheat for a few minutes.
- Cooking: Lightly spray the calzones with some cooking oil for that golden finish. Place them in the air fryer basket, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook for about 10-12 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Cool slightly before serving: Let them sit for a few minutes to cool slightly before serving, as the filling will be very hot.
Notes
Experiment with different fillings to suit your taste preferences, including vegetarian or vegan options.
