Instructions:
-
Put a skillet on the stove and heat oil over medium-high heat as you prepare the tomatoes.
-
Slice the green tomatoes to your desired thickness, whether you prefer them thick or thin.
-
In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, yellow cornmeal, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
-
In another dish, beat the eggs.
-
Take each tomato slice and dip it first into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s thoroughly coated.
-
Then, dredge the tomato slice in the flour and cornmeal mixture, ensuring an even coating. Repeat this process for a thicker coating if desired.
-
Carefully place the coated tomato slices into the hot oil. Fry them until golden brown on both sides, flipping halfway through. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side.
-
Once the green fried tomatoes are golden and crispy, remove them from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
