Ingredients

  • 4 green tomatoes
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 eggs
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Directions

  1. Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices.
  2. In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. In another shallow bowl, whisk the eggs.
  4. Dip each tomato slice into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat it with the flour mixture, pressing to adhere. Repeat for all slices.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add enough oil to reach a depth of 1/4-inch.
