A delicious and healthy High-Protein Keto Calzone recipe that is perfect for those following a low-carb diet.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled Italian sausage (or any protein of choice)
  • 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup marinara sauce (for dipping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt. Mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs. Add the shredded mozzarella cheese and ricotta cheese to the eggs, mixing until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
  5. Divide the dough into two equal portions. Place each portion between two sheets of parchment paper and roll out into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.
  6. On one half of each circle, layer the cooked sausage, chopped bell peppers, and grated Parmesan cheese.
  7. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
  8. Transfer the calzones to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Let the calzones cool for a few minutes before serving with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, substitute the sausage with sautéed mushrooms or spinach.
  • Experiment with different cheeses such as cheddar or pepper jack for added flavor.
