These wholesome pockets are crafted with hearty whole wheat pizza dough and stuffed with a vibrant medley of fresh spinach, earthy mushrooms, and sweet red bell peppers, perfectly seasoned with garlic and Italian herbs. Melted low-fat mozzarella cheese and a dollop of tangy marinara sauce pull everything together, creating a deliciously satisfying bite in every fold.

Perfect for a light yet filling dinner or a portable lunch option, theyβre a nutritious choice for anyone looking to enjoy a flavorful, veggie-packed meal without straying from their healthy lifestyle.
Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat it with olive oil cooking spray.
Divide the whole wheat pizza dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a 6-inch circle on a lightly floured surface.
In a medium bowl, mix together the spinach, mushrooms, red bell pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Spread 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce on one half of each dough circle, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Top the sauce with an equal amount of the veggie mixture and sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the veggies.
Fold the empty half of the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Pinch and fold the edges together to seal, or crimp them with a fork.
Place the calzones on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil cooking spray to help them brown.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the calzones are golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your veggie-packed calzones!
