Ingredients
- 1 pound green tomatoes (about 4 medium tomatoes, cut into ¼-inch slices)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¾ cup buttermilk*
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup cornmeal
- ¾ cup canola oil (for frying, more as needed)
Steps
-
Pour oil into a pan to ½" deep and preheat to 365°F.
-
Season both sides of tomato slices with salt and pepper.
-
In a shallow dish combine flour and garlic powder. Pour the buttermilk into a second shallow dish and in a third dish mix together the paprika and cornmeal.
-
Dredge tomato slices in flour, shaking off any excess. Dip in buttermilk, followed by the cornmeal mixture. Repeat with remaining slices.
-
When oil is hot, add tomatoes to the pan, a few at a time (don't crowd) cooking 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
-
Drain on paper towels. Season with additional salt.
