Ingredients

• 4 large green tomatoes
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 2 cups breadcrumbs
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• vegetable oil for frying
• chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Directions

1. Start by slicing the green tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
2. Prepare the breading station by setting up three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add the flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Dip each green tomato slice into the flour, coating both sides. Shake off any excess flour.
4. Next, dip the flour-coated tomato slice into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated.
5. Transfer the tomato slice to the breadcrumb mixture and press gently to coat both sides with the delicious Parmesan breadcrumb mixture. Repeat the process with the remaining tomato slices.
6. In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. You'll need enough oil to come about halfway up the sides of the tomato slices.
7. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the breaded tomato slices into the skillet, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
8. Remove the fried green tomato slices from the skillet and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil.
9. Serve the fried green tomato Parmesan slices hot, sprinkled with chopped fresh parsley for an extra touch of freshness.
10. Enjoy now while they're still warm and at their crispy best!
