Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1 cup tapioca flour
• 2 tablespoons coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 whole eggs
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• 0.5 whole onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 0.5 cup cooked chicken (optional for extra protein)
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sautéing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and sea salt.

Step 3

Add the olive oil, eggs, and almond milk to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more coconut flour, one teaspoon at a time, until it reaches a pliable consistency.

Step 4

Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a large, thin circle (about 1/4-inch thick). Set aside.

Step 5

In a large skillet over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced onion and minced garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened and fragrant.

Step 6

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. If using cooked chicken, stir it in at this stage.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the heat and mix in the nutritional yeast, oregano, basil, and black pepper. Let the filling cool for a few minutes.

Step 8

Spoon the spinach filling onto one half of the rolled-out dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling to form a calzone shape.

Step 9

Pinch the edges of the dough together to seal the calzone. You can use a fork to press down the edges for a decorative touch.

Step 10

Carefully transfer the calzone to the prepared baking sheet. Use a sharp knife to cut a few small slits on top of the calzone to allow steam to escape while baking.

Step 11

Place the calzone in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your delicious paleo spinach calzone!
