air fryer calzones

Love pizza night, but want to switch it up? Calzones take all the fun toppings of pizza and secure them into crisp, hand-held bundles. With the help of store bought pizza dough (find it in the bakery section at the grocery or ask of your local pizza joint), you can focus on filling combinations. From roasted veggies with mozzarella and pesto to pepperoni and sausage with cheddar, the personalization possibilities are endless. And the best part? Each person can make their own. The air fryer’s swift moving air makes the outside of each pocket beautifully crisp but fluffy on the inside, not dry at all! If you’re cooking with the family, the air fryer’s short cook time stops the cooking bottleneck since you can fill and prep the calzones as you go. For calzone success, make sure you’re not overfilling them and the edges are crimped shut or they’ll spring a leak! Serve with a big salad for a balanced plate.

Air Fryer Veggie Calzones

tsp extra virgin olive oil

white onion

baby spinach leaves

Salt and pepper

2–3 large pieces jarred roasted red pepper

basil

whole wheat or regular pizza dough

marinara sauce

mozzarella cheese

In a large pan over medium heat, heat the olive oil and onion. Cook for 5 minutes, until onions are fragrant and translucent. Add chopped baby spinach and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes until the spinach is wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Mix in the red peppers and basil, and transfer to a small bowl. Divide pizza dough into 8 pieces and roll each into a small round, about 1/4-inch thick or less. Fill the center of each round with a spoonful of marinara, the veggies, and a few pieces of mozzarella. Fold the round in half, crimping the edges with a fork so they're closed and a half-moon shape is formed. Whisk egg in a small bowl and brush on top of each calzone. Set the air fryer to 370°F, and place the calzones in the fryer basket in a single layer, working in batches if needed. Fry for about 10 minutes, flipping over halfway through. Calzones are done when golden brown. Serve with extra marinara sauce.
