Enjoy crispy, golden-brown air fryer calzones, filled with your favorite ingredients for a quick, delicious Italian treat at home. Perfect for any meal or gathering!
Seasonings: saltpepper, Italian seasoning (optional)
Flour for dusting
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (182°C).
On a flour-dusted surface, divide your pizza dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each into a ball, then flatten into circles about 6 inches in diameter.
In a bowl, mix your selected vegetables, meats, mozzarella, and ricotta cheese. Add a bit of salt, pepper, and optional Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
Spoon the mixture onto one half of each dough circle. Add a tablespoon of marinara sauce over the filling.
Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Seal the edges by crimping with a fork.
Lightly brush each calzone with olive oil. This helps achieve a golden color.
Place the calzones in the air fryer for 8-10 minutes or until they're golden brown and crispy. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Serve hot with extra marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
Ensure the edges of your calzone are sealed properly to prevent the filling from oozing out during cooking.
Avoid overstuffing your calzone; it might not cook evenly, and the contents could spill.
Preheat the air fryer before adding your calzones to achieve a crispy texture.
Brush a little olive oil over the top for a golden-brown finish.
Allow the calzones to cool for a few minutes after air frying to help set the filling and avoid burns.
