Tips:
- Use store-bought pizza dough to save time. If you're short on time, you can use store-bought pizza dough to make your calzones. Just be sure to thaw the dough completely before using it.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. When cooking calzones in the air fryer, be sure to not overcrowd the basket. This will prevent the calzones from cooking evenly.
- Cook the calzones until they are golden brown. The calzones are done cooking when they are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve the calzones with your favorite dipping sauce. Calzones are delicious served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as marinara sauce, Alfredo sauce, or ranch dressing.

Air fryer calzones are a quick and easy way to enjoy a delicious and satisfying meal. They are perfect for busy weeknights or for a fun party appetizer. With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes of cooking time, you can have a delicious and portable meal that the whole family will love.
