Fried Green Tomatoes!

Fried Green Tomatoes!

Fried Green Tomatoes 

We have FINALLY arrived at my favorite garden day! Today is Fried Green Tomato Day at my house. With all the rain we have had this summer, I had my doubts that our garden was going to produce anything. 

In a typical season, our garden, which is a 12' x 12' plot, gives us tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, Summer squash, green beans, and peas. This year, so far, we have some green tomatoes and a random zucchini.  The cucumbers, green beans, and peas did not produce for us. Max, our dog, is especially disappointed in the lack of peas. Those are his favorites! He typically goes and helps himself to most of those! 

Since I am making some fried green tomatoes in the Air Fryer tonight, I am recreating the recipe and sharing it here with you! Feel free to give the recipe a try and then tell me how it went in the comments! 

Fried Green Tomatoes

Ingredients                                                                      

4 Green Tomatoes (We have 3 ready today!)

2 Large Eggs                                                                  

1/4 Cup Milk (I am using Lactose-free Milk)              

1 Cup Flour                                                                       

A Sprinkle of Salt                                                            

A Sprinkle of Pepper                                                    

1/2 Cup Cornmeal.                                                        

1/2 Seasoned Panko Breadcrumbs                              

A Generous Sprinkle of Parmesan Cheese           

Pam or Olive Oil Spray

Directions                                                                      

🍅 Whisk the eggs in a small bowl. Add in the milk. In another small bowl add the flour, salt, and pepper. In another small bowl mix together the cornmeal, breadcrumbs, and Parmesan cheese.

🍅 Slice the tomatoes. Dredge each slice first in the flour, then in the eggs, and lastly in the cornmeal and breadcrumb mixture. Lay the tomato slices in a single layer in your Air Fryer basket and spray the tops with Pam or olive oil spray.

🍅 Cook at 400 degrees F. in the Air Fryer for 5-6 minutes, then flip them over, spray them again and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Enjoy!

Until next time,
