Recipes for the KitchenAid Vegetable Sheet Cutter
Lasagna with Zucchini Sheets
Make a low-carb lasagna dish using your favorite lasagna recipe but use zucchini sheets in place of traditional lasagna noodles. To reduce the amount of water zucchini releases in the oven, you may want to get rid of some of that excess water before assembling your lasagna. This is how: Spread out the zucchini sheets on a baking sheet lined with paper towels and generously sprinkle with kosher salt. After 10 minutes, you should see some water beading on the surface. Pat the sheets dry with paper towels, then flip over and repeat the procedure.
Potato Crust Pizza
Use the KitchenAid Vegetable Sheet Cutter to turn a large zucchini into a thick sheet. Transfer the sheet to a cutting board and cut into 8-inch lengths. Brush sheets with olive oil and arrange in a circular pattern on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F for 20-25 minutes until golden. Remove the crust from the oven, and top with your favorite pizza toppings. Bake for another 10 minutes, until the cheese melts and begins to brown.
Spinach Quiche with Sweet Potato Crust
Spray a glass pie pan with cooking oil. Peel 1 large sweet potato and cut off the ends, then cut the sweet potato into 4-inch sections. With the Sheet Cutter attached to your KitchenAid, process the sweet potato pieces into long sheets (use the Thick Blade), then cut into 12-inch lengths. Brush the sheets with olive oil and arrange the sheets in the pie pan to form a crust. Press foil onto the sweet potato crust and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F. In the meantime, cook frozen spinach and chopped onion in a skillet until the spinach is completely thawed. Drain any excess water. When the crust has been in the oven for 15 minutes, remove the foil, and continue baking for another 10 minutes, then remove the crust from the oven. Spread the cooked spinach on the crust, and pour in a mixture of beaten eggs, parmesan cheese, milk and seasonings. Bake at 350°F for 30 to 35 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Zucchini Rolls Filled with Avocado Mash
Use the KitchenAid Vegetable Sheet Cutter to turn a large zucchini into a thin sheet, then cut the sheet into 6 smaller sheets with a knife. Spread the sheets out on a work surface and top with an avocado mash seasoned with garlic, lime juice, smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Wrap tightly. Cut each roll into 4 pieces, securing with a pick, if needed. Serve immediately.
Zucchini Enchiladas
Yet another great way to use zucchini is to turn it into low-carb enchiladas! To do this, start by cutting two large, trimmed zucchini into 4-inch pieces. Next, use the KitchenAid Vegetable Sheet Cutter Attachment to turn the zucchini pieces into thin sheets, then cut the sheets into 6-inch pieces. Spread the pieces out on a cutting board and top with your favorite enchilada filling. Roll tightly and transfer to an oven-safe pan. Top with tomato salsa and cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes in a preheated oven at 350°F, then remove the foil. Continue baking for 10 minutes more until beginning to brown.
