Ingredients

  • 3-4 unripe green tomatoes
  • 1 ½ cups panko breadcrumbs
  • ¾ cup buttermilk

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Set out a large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle the oil on the baking sheet and spread it around with a spoon or brush.
  2. Slice the tomatoes into ¼ inch rounds. Set aside.
  3. Set out 3 bowls. Pour the flour in one bowl, and the panko in the seconds bowl. In the third bowl combine the buttermilk, Cajun seasoning, salt, and cumin. Mix well.
  4. One at a time, dip the slices of tomato in the flour. Shake off the excess flour and dip the tomato slice in the buttermilk. Shake off the excess buttermilk over the bowl, then dip the slice in breadcrumbs.
  5. Lay each slice on the baking sheet, then flip it so it is coated in oil on both sides. Repeat with the remaining green tomato slices.
  6. Bake for 12 minutes. Use a small spatula to flip the tomato slices over. Then bake again for 12 minutes, until golden brown.
  7. Serve warm with a side of Caesar dressing for dipping.

Notes

  • Notice in the photos, green tomatoes do not need to be fully green. They just need to be partially green and extra firm, so they have a sharp tangy flavor.
  • You can easily swap the flour and panko breadcrumbs for Gluten-Free flour and breadcrumbs.
