Ever since watching the movie “Green Fried Tomatoes”, I have been wanting to try this Southern classic. I have never actually found them on any menu, but eventually made them myself after Corey shared them on her Instagram.

Served on a sandwich, they tasted really amazing (they have to because they’re fried) with their firm, juicy inside and crunchy crust! 🙂

Ingredients:

• 3 firm, green tomatoes
• 3/4 cup buttermilk (3/4 cup unsweetened plant milk mixed with 1 tablespoon white or apple cider vinegar and let sit for 10 minutes to act as buttermilk)
• 1 cup gluten-free all purpose flour
• 1 slice gluten-free bread
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• Pinch paprika
• Pinch cayenne pepper
• Pinch onion powder
• Coconut oil for the pan

Instructions:

1. Wash tomatoes and slice into 1/4-1/2 inch slices.
2. Pour butter milk into a bowl and soak tomatoes for 20 minutes.
3. Add flour, bread and spices into a food processor and blend to create a fine breading.
4. Place the mixture in a shallow dish, take the tomatoes out of the buttermilk and place them in flour mixture to coat them from both sides.
5. In a pan, heat 1 tbsp coconut oil over medium – high heat. Add tomatoes to pan and cook on both sides for 2 minutes each to lightly brown the outside.
6. Place on parchment lined baking sheet in the oven at 425 °F for 8 minutes. Optional serving on a sandwich. 🙂
