An air fryer is one of the coolest, kitchen cooking gadgets available right now. Taking oil out of the frying equation is better for your health and the consistency of the food is amazing. When I first started using an air fryer I was not really sure I would like it. In fact, I don’t like air frying, I LOVE air frying foods.
However, if you just got an air fryer you might find it a little intimidating. Don’t worry, after a few times using it you will get the hang of it and come to love it. From pizzas, to cookies and everything in between, air fryers are perfect.
My kids love snacking and because they are boys I keep foods stocked up for fast grabs. They love calzones, so I created small versions so they could snack and enjoy! It’s time to share the recipe with you. Getting creative with simple ingredients has never been easier. The return offers fabulous taste. Here’s a new spin on an old favorite, one I used to use my oven for. Get ready to roll out Air Fryer Calzone Pockets.

Once you have your air fryer, you will want to experiment slowly. A tip you want to know is always spray the basket with a flavorless nonstick spray. I consistently use this and have no issues. Remember however, on this recipe you will be working with cheese. While it won’t stick you still will have oozing cheese to clean up later.
You can sub out any of my ingredients with others that you prefer, this recipe is just a spring board to get you started. Add in peppers, or olives, sausage, etc., you get it.
