Get the Recipe: Fried Green Tomatoes
Fried Green Tomatoes and how to freeze them! These ultra crispy and totally delicious tomatoes are a Southern classic!
Ingredients
- 5 green tomatoes
- Oil for frying, use a neutral oil like canola or vegetable oil
First Layer
- 1/3 cup gluten free flour, I used GF Bisquick
- 1/3 cup cornmeal
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Egg Wash
- 2 eggs, beaten
Second Layer
- 1 cup gluten free breadcrumbs, I love C4 GF breadcrumbs
- 1/3 cup gluten free flour, I used GF Bisquick
- 1/3 cup cornmeal
Instructions
- Slice the tomatoes in fairly thick slices
- Mix the flour, cornmeal and spices listed for the first layer and dip each tomato slice in it making sure it is completely coated.
- Lay the slices on a large baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes.
- Crack eggs into a shallow bowl and blend with a fork.
- In a second bowl combine the breadcrumbs, flour and cornmeal.
- Dip each tomato slice in the egg and in the breadcrumb mixture. Make sure to completely coat the tomato and lay back on the baking sheet in a single layer.
- At this point you can freeze the tomatoes in a single layer overnight and then place in a large ziplock bag.
- Add oil to a cast iron skillet. The oil should be about 1-inch deep. Heat until shimmering (careful, it will be very hot!).
- Fry until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes per side.
