As I have mentioned before, I dislike tomatoes in their raw state, but I do love tomato products and foods one of which is fried green tomatoes but sometimes the green ones are hard to find so I substituted with yellowy, orange ones but any firm non-red tomato would work. I love this recipe because it takes an unhealthy fried comfort food, keeps the flavor all while losing the fried oil and greasiness.
INGREDIENTS:
- Two tomatoes (medium size), sliced about 1/4 inch thick
- 1/2 cup AP unbleached flour
- 1/2 cup bisquik Heart Health baking mix
- 1/4 cup corn meal
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- egg whites
DIRECTIONS:
- Mix all dry ingredients.
- Take sliced tomatoes and dip them in egg whites until well covered.
- Coat them with the dry mix until well covered.
- Place on baking sprayed sheet pan or baking sheet pan lined with non-stick mat.
- Bake at 375 degrees until you notice browning (10 mins), flip and continue to bake until well browned on both sides. (about 15-20 mins total)

Have a little station order set up to speed up production. Take slices soak in egg white, batter them, place on sheet. |

This is in the oven about half way through cooking, I turned them when they looked like this. |

This is the yummy tomatoes finished. So golden brown and not an ounce of greasy oil |

We had them with cheesy grits and green beans. I also made a homemade remoulade from stuff I found, it was ok, but I needed proper remoulade ingredients. |
I know what I am having for dinner!! We actually have some green tomatoes in our garden...just got to check the pantry for the rest!
