🍅 Main ingredients
- 3–4 firm green (unripe) tomatoes
- Salt (for sweating slices)
🥣 Breading setup
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1–2 eggs (beaten)
- ½ cup cornmeal (key for crunch)
- ½ cup breadcrumbs (optional for extra crisp)
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Salt & black pepper
🫒 For frying
- Vegetable oil (enough for shallow frying)
🔥 Quick prep tip
Slice tomatoes about ½ inch thick, salt them lightly, and let sit 10–15 minutes.
This pulls out moisture so they fry crisp instead of soggy.
If you want, I can also give you the step-by-step frying method + dipping sauces (like spicy mayo or remoulade) or a crispy air-fryer version.
