For a vegetarian option, try filling the calzones with sauteed mushrooms, spinach, and ricotta cheese. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, such as provolone, cheddar, or a blend of Italian cheeses. Make sure to seal the edges of the calzones tightly to prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking. If you don't have avocado oil spray, you can brush the calzones lightly with olive oil or melted butter. Adjust the air frying time as needed, depending on your air fryer model.

Prepare the Calzones: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough. Use a 2 1/8-inch biscuit cutter to cut out 9 circles. Roll each circle into a 4 1/2-inch disc. Fill each disc with 1 teaspoon pizza sauce, 3 slices of pepperoni, and 1/2 tablespoon of mozzarella cheese. Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape, securing the edges by folding them over and crimping with the tines of a fork. (Approximately 20 minutes)
