For an extra layer of flavor, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cornmeal mixture. Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying; otherwise, the tomatoes may become soggy. Don't overcrowd the pan, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in less crispy tomatoes. Serve with a creamy dipping sauce such as remoulade or ranch for an enhanced experience.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. (5 minutes)
02
StepSet up your dredging station: In a shallow bowl, place the flour. In a second shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and water. In a third shallow bowl, combine the cornmeal, salt, and pepper. (10 minutes)
03
StepDredge each tomato slice: First, dip a tomato slice into the flour, ensuring it's fully coated. Next, immerse it in the egg mixture. Finally, press it firmly into the cornmeal mixture, shaking off any excess. Place the dredged tomato slice onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining slices, arranging them in a single layer. (20 minutes)
04
StepHeat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, indicating it's hot enough for frying. (5 minutes)
05
StepWorking in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, carefully place the dredged tomato slices into the hot oil. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. (15-20 minutes)
06
StepRemove the fried green tomatoes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. (5 minutes)
07
StepServe immediately and enjoy!
