FAQs
Q: Can I use ripe tomatoes?
A: No, this recipe is specifically for green tomatoes, which are firm and tangy. Ripe tomatoes are too soft and won’t hold up well to frying.
Q: What oil is best for frying?
A: Vegetable oil, canola oil, or peanut oil are all good choices for frying due to their high smoke points.
Q: Can I make these in an air fryer?
A: Yes, you can make a healthier version by air frying the coated tomato slices at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Q: How do I keep the coating from falling off?
A: Make sure to pat the tomatoes dry before dredging and press the coating firmly onto the slices. Fry in batches without overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
