Ingredients for Crispy Fried Green Tomatoes:

2-3 pounds of green tomatoes
1 tbsp of Old Bay Seasoning
1 cup of flour
1 cup of Panko breadcrumbs
¾ cup of white cornmeal
2 eggs
1 tbsp of hot sauce
2 tbsp of milk
1 tsp of garlic powder
1 tsp of onion powder
½ tsp of black pepper

How to Make Crispy Fried Green Tomatoes:

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, Old Bay Seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper, then in a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and hot sauce, and in the final separate bowl, add the breadcrumbs seasoning it a bit to taste.

Step 2

Cut the tomatoes into ½-inch thick rounds, then sprinkle some salt on them to remove all of the moisture, and pat them dry with paper towels. Dredge the tomato rounds in the flour mixture, then dip them in the egg mixture, and coat them with breadcrumbs. Place them on a wire rack, then preheat the oil for deep frying, and cook the tomatoes in batches to not overcrowd the pan.

Step 3

Fry the tomatoes for about 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown, then flip, and cook the other side. Place the cooked tomatoes in a wire rack or plate lined with a paper towel to drain off the excess oil, then serve with your favorite dipping sauce on the side, and enjoy!
