Vegetable Calzones
recipe from A Cozy Kitchen, I only slightly modified the original
Ingredients
Olive Oil
1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced
Pinch o’ salt
1/2 cup butternut squash, peeled and cubed
1/2 cup broccolini
1/2 cup cremini mushrooms, sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 12oz. prepared pizza dough
3 tbsp. jarred marinara sauce
1 mozzarella ball
Directions
- In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and a pinch of salt to skillet and cook onions for 20 min., or until brown and caramelized.
- While onions are cooking, preheat oven to 400F. Place cubed squash on baking sheet, toss in olive oil and sprinkle with salt & pep. Roast for 15 min. or until soft. Remove and set aside.
- When the onions are complete, add the broccolini and mushrooms, saute for 5-10 min. Add the garlic to the top and cook until just fragrant.
- Flour your work surface and roll out pizza dough. Transfer to a piece of parchment. Add sauce to one half, top with vegetable mixture, add the butternut squash, and finish it off with a few slices of mozzarella.
- Fold dough in half, over the filling, and crimp as desired to seal. Transfer the parchment with the calzone onto a baking sheet. Slice a hole at the top to allow steam to escape. Cook in over until dough is puffed up and golden brow, about 15-20 min.
Notes
My un-fancy grocery store didn’t carry broccolini or cremini mushrooms. No problem, though, I opted for plain old broccoli and simply chopped it into smaller pieces. I bought baby bella mushrooms and they worked just as well. I made three small calzones instead of one large. I made extra veggies but I also should have purchased more pizza dough. They were incredibly hard to seal because I had so little dough. These would have also benefitted from a touch of basil in the filling. Oh, and make sure you buy a good marinara sauce, preferably something with a bit of flavor, it will really help the final product pop! These were outrageously good and I will be making them again.
