Calzones
Author: 
Serves: Makes 6 calzones
 
Ingredients
Crust Ingredients:
  • 1 head of cauliflower
  • 3 eggs or 4 egg whites
  • 1 teaspoon oregano (or other spices for crust seasoning)
Optional Filling ingredients (I used organic marinara sauce, spinach and butternut squash):
  • Sauce (1 cup for 6 calzones + more for dipping)
  • Veggies (I used 3 cups of spinach and 1 ½ cups butternut squash for all 6 of mine)
  • Cheese, optional
Instructions
  1. Rinse and chop cauliflower (and any other vegetables you may need to stuff calzones with).
  2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  3. Pulse in the food processor until the cauliflower looks like rice.
  4. Put cauliflower into a dishtowel over a large bowl. Squeeze cauliflower through the towel until all the water has drained out. This is a very important part of the process. If too much is water left in the cauliflower, it will crack when you fold it over to fill it with toppings. There is a lot of water in there, I drained over a cup!
  5. Mix cauliflower with eggs.
  6. Line cookie sheet with aluminum foil or Silipat. If using a cookie sheet, Grease with a little bit of oil (I used coconut). This will make it easier to flip them.
  7. Make 6 inch circles with the cauliflower mixture on your cookie sheet (I got 3 or 4 on each sheet). I just used my hands to make them!
  8. Cook the shells in the oven for 10 minutes.
  9. If you need to sauté or cook any vegetables, do so while the cauliflower shells are in the oven. I diced my butternut squash into very small pieces so it would cook quickly with the spinach.
  10. After 10 minutes, when the cauliflower is done on one side, it will start to brown on the bottom. Remove from the oven and gently flip the tortillas over.
  11. On one side of the tortilla, fill it with your choice of toppings.
  12. Turn the empty side of the tortilla up to create a pocket. Pinch the edges together to create a seal.
  13. Put the calzones back in the oven for another 10 minutes.
  14. After 10 minutes, remove from the oven and serve with sauce for dipping! Very delicious!!
