Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Green tomatoes
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cornmeal
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Hot sauce
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon Honey
Instructions
Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds and set aside.
In a shallow dish, mix the flour, cornmeal, breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the buttermilk into a separate shallow bowl.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
Dip each tomato slice into the buttermilk, allowing the excess to drip off.
Coat the tomato slices in the flour-cornmeal mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Carefully place the coated tomato slices in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Fry each batch for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy. Remove and place on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain.
In a small saucepan, combine ketchup, hot sauce, cayenne pepper, and honey. Stir and cook over low heat for 2-3 minutes, or until warmed through.
Serve the green tomato fries hot with the fiery ketchup on the side for dipping.
