We have been wanting to try fried green tomatoes for years now. I had been eyeing some green tomatoes at the farmers market, and then a friend of mine offered a bunch from her garden, so we decided to make a batch.
I love how pretty the tomatoes are!
Start by slicing your green tomatoes. They stay pretty firm even when fried, so I sliced them thick, but they didn’t have to be overly thick.
First, we dipped the tomato slices in flour.
Then we dipped them in a mixture of half egg, half milk.
Finally, we dipped in a breadcrumb mixture. We actually tried two different mixtures – one with breadcrumbs, and a different one using a mix of panko crumbs and nutritional yeast.
We prepared a big batch of tomato slices to be fried.
We heated up oil in a skillet, and fried the battered tomatoes, turning as needed. The slices floated in the oil, so they needed to be flipped, and you’ll need a decent amount of oil.
I tried both ranch dressing and sour cream with my fried green tomatoes. It was just the right balance in contrast with the acidity of the tomatoes. These are so delicious!
This seems like a tasty and different recipe for me to try! I would enjoy this and I would make a tomato sauce dip with it.
I haven’t had this in so long! My parents grew up in North Carolina and it seems that’s all we ate every Autumn!
I have never had these but I think I will try to make them this weekend.
Mmm!! These always look delish and Ive been wanting to try them forever!! Pinned so when tomato season comes I wont forget!
I have never had these before, but they look so good. There is nothing like tomatoes straight from the garden.
I love fried green tomatoes! I garden and always allot myself o few of them green instead of waiting. My problem is everyone else wants them green too I have to watch the garden ha!
I really love fried green tomatoes! I have never made them with Panko and yeast.
My family always ate fried green tomatoes but I would never try the,. These do look pretty good. I may have to give these a try.
This looks so yummy and I will have to try out the recipe 🙂
When I was a child I remember my mom making and eating these. I tried them on several occasions but never did like the. I think I need to try them again. The last time I tried them was over 40 years ago. I am sure my palate has changed since then. I think I will go out to the garden tomorrow and pick one and try it.
Wow! These looks rally nice! ☺️
(Fried Green Tomatoes) My brothers and I just made a big batch of these over the Labor Day weekend when we were together. The tomatoes were from my garden that I grew over the summer, and they turned out so good too.
I would love to make these for my hubby!
Awesome recipe. Fried green tomatoes are great, and a perfect way to do something different with your tomatoes.
Really curious how it tastes like both cooked with this recipe and just the tomato itself.
Mmm, we literally were just talking about this the other day! They look so delicious.
I love fried green tomatoes. These look so delicious.
I have never tried these before, do you have a preference on which is better? Breadcrumbs vs Panko? Does it taste the same without the nutritional yeast?
Wow, I never thought I could do this. My kids wouldn’t eat them but it was great for me!
The first time i heard about fried green tomatoes was from a Kathy Bates movie and since then i was really intrigued how great it tastes like… This is definitely a guilt free snack go try on
Thank you for sharing the recipe.. I wonder if this will work on an Air fryer too
this is something new for me.. i never thought we could fry tomatoes this way! all i know is it’s just for salads and sauteeing..
I’ve always been curious about fried green tomatoes but I haven’t had the chance to try it. It’s not really a popular dish in my country but it always looks good when I see it in blogs.
This looks interesting, I didn’t know we can eat them like that haha. This is new to me but looks yummy.

Not only a great movie, but also a delicious dish. Reminds me of my first trip to the US as I travelled the Deep South 😉
We actually eat green tomatoes raw so I’m excited to try the fried version. I bet fried green tomatoes is so yummy!
Nnniiiiccceeeee….they turned out so well, I must admit! You have actually given me an idea!
These Fried Green Tomatoes would be so wonderful for me to try. The tomatoes are very pretty also!
