Method
 

How to Make High-Protein Keto Calzone
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) to ensure a perfectly cooked calzone.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken with Italian seasonings. Add any optional veggies and stir until well-mixed.
  3. On a sheet of parchment paper, shape the chicken mixture into a circle, about 1/2 inch thick. Top one half with mozzarella and pepperoni, then fold the other half over and press the edges to seal.
  4. Brush the top of the calzone with the beaten egg for a golden crust.
  5. Gently place the calzone in the air fryer basket and cook for approximately 10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Let the calzone cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve with keto-friendly marinara sauce, if desired.
