Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Green tomatoes
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Buttermilk
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds and set aside.
Prepare a dredging station with three separate shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add the flour. In the second, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk. In the third, combine the panko breadcrumbs, cornmeal, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Dip each tomato slice into the flour, ensuring it's fully coated, then into the egg mixture, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure an even coating.
Place the coated tomato slices on the prepared baking sheet. Be sure to leave space between each slice for even cooking.
Lightly spray the tops of the tomatoes with cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake for 20 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side!
