olive oil cooking spray

Tips:

  • For a crispy calzone, preheat your air fryer to the highest temperature possible before adding the calzone.
  • To prevent the cheese from leaking out, make sure to seal the edges of the calzone well before cooking.
  • If you are using a store-bought pizza dough, be sure to let it come to room temperature before using it.
  • For a more flavorful calzone, use a variety of cheeses, such as mozzarella, Parmesan, and ricotta.
  • You can also add other ingredients to your calzone, such as cooked meats, vegetables, or herbs.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the air fryer basket, or the calzones will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the calzones until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve the calzones immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Air fryer calzones are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
