Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Fried Green Tomatoes.
Step 1
Start by heating the oil in a deep fryer to a sizzling 360°F (182°C). This is the magic temperature for achieving that perfect crispy texture!
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, crushed cornflakes, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and sugar. This mixture will create a delightful coating for your tomatoes.
Step 3
Pour the milk into another shallow bowl, creating a dip for your tomatoes that will help the flour mixture stick.
Step 4
Now, take a slice of green tomato and gently press it into the flour mixture, ensuring it’s coated on both sides. Give it a little shake to remove any excess flour. Next, dip it into the milk, and then back into the flour mixture for a double coating. Repeat this process with the remaining tomato slices, laying them out in a single layer on a plate—no stacking allowed!
Step 5
Once your oil is hot and ready, carefully place each breaded tomato slice into the oil. Fry them until they turn a beautiful golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking!
Step 6
When they’re done, use a slotted spoon to remove the fried tomatoes and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil. Let them cool slightly before serving.
How to Serve
Serve these crispy fried green tomatoes warm, perhaps with a side of ranch dressing or a zesty dipping sauce for an extra kick! They make a fantastic appetizer or a delightful side dish for any meal.
How to Store
To store any leftovers, place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They’re best enjoyed fresh, but you can reheat them in an oven to regain some of that crispiness.
