Oven Fried Green Tomatoes with Spicy Ranch
Description
The recipe starts by preheating the oven and lightly greasing the baking sheet. Almond flour is mixed with lemon pepper seasoning to create a flavorful coating. Each slice of green tomato is dipped into beaten eggs then dredged thoroughly through the almond flour mixture to ensure good adhesion.
The coated tomato slices bake at 350°F first on one side, then flipped to bake evenly until golden and crisp. Salt and black pepper are added after baking to taste. The spicy ranch sauce is made by mixing regular ranch dressing with Sriracha sauce, providing a creamy dip with a kick.
This method produces a crispy texture and vibrant flavors without frying oil, utilizing the natural tartness and firmness of green tomatoes. The combination makes an appealing side or appetizer and suits those looking for a lighter fried alternative.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour finely ground
- 1 tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning
- 5-6 tomato sliced into 12 1/2-inch thick slices, green
- 2 egg beaten
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a large baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the almond flour and lemon pepper seasoning.
- Dip one of the 1/2 inch thick slices of green tomato (you'll need about 12 total slices--dip them one at a time) in the beaten eggs, coating both sides. Next, dip the tomato slice in the almond flour mixture, coating both sides well. Place the breaded green tomato on the greased cookie sheet, then repeat the process with the remaining slices of tomato.
- Bake the tomatoes at 350F for 20 minutes, then flip each tomato before returning them to the oven to bake for a final 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Sprinkle the tomatoes with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a small bowl, combine the ranch dressing and Sriracha sauce. Serve the oven-fried green tomatoes warm with the spicy ranch dressing for dipping.
