Fried Green Tomatoes with Cajun Ranch Dipping Sauce
If you love Southern Fried Green Tomatoes you'll love this easy recipe for Fried Green Tomatoes with a semi-homemade Cajun Ranch Dipping Sauce. I share both deep fried and Air Fryer instructions.
Ingredients
- Oil For Deep Fryer
- 2 green tomatoes cut into ¼-inch rings
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Cajun Seasoning
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
Cajun Ranch Dipping Sauce
- ¼ cup ranch dressing
- 1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (deep fryer or skillet with oil)
- Season tomatoes, on both sides, with salt and pepper. Let them sit aside for at least 5 minutes while the water starts to come out of them.
- While tomatoes rest. Place flour, garlic powder, and Cajun seasoning in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish, beat the egg with the milk.
- Pat the tomatoes dry and then dredge tomatoes through the flour, then the egg wash, and then back in the flour mixture.
- Add only a few pieces to the fryer at a time, so they can cook evenly, about 3 to 5 minutes (depending on your deep fryer). Drain on paper towels.
Cajun Ranch Dipping Sauce
- In a bowl, mix together the ranch dressing and cajun seasoning. Set to the side until ready to enjoy with fried green tomatoes.
Notes
Air Fryer - To air fry the fried green tomatoes follow steps 1-4. Preheat Air Fryer at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray basket or wire racks with non-stick cooking spray. Place the flour/egg dredged sliced tomatoes in a single layer. Spray with avocado oil. Bake for 3 minutes, then flip, spray with avocado oil, and bake an additional 3 minutes. (I tested this recipe using a Power Air-Fryer Pro using the wire racks. For golden brown results only cook on top rack).
Avocado Oil - I like to use a spray bottle of avocado oil since it has a higher smoke point and will not burn.

- Slicing - Green tomatoes are hard which makes them perfect for using in a mandolin slicer.
- Cooking times - Cooking times will vary depending on the thickness of the green tomato.
