Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 pieces green tomatoes, sliced thick Choose unripe tomatoes for best results.
  • 1 cup gluten free flour blend
  • ½ cup cornmeal Optional but recommended for extra crunch.
  • 2 pieces eggs Can substitute with ½ cup milk or plant milk for egg-free version.
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat tomato slices dry to remove excess moisture.
  2. In a shallow dish, mix together gluten free flour, cornmeal, salt, and pepper.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs or pour out your milk/plant milk.
  4. Dip each tomato slice first into the egg/milk and then dredge in the flour mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
Cooking
  1. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the coated tomato slices and fry until both sides are golden brown and crunchy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  3. Transfer fried tomatoes to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt immediately.

Notes

For best results, ensure the oil is hot before frying and do not overload the pan. Use tongs to handle the hot tomatoes. To make the recipe dairy-free, substitute regular milk with coconut or almond milk.
