Gluten & Grain Free Fried Green Tomatoes
Ingredients
- 3 firm green tomatoes
- ½ cup avocado oil or olive oil
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup milk (I use coconut milk)
- ½ cup cassava flour (I use Otto's Naturals)
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- fresh basil, to top (Optional)
- aioli, to serve (Optional)
Instructions
- Wash, dry and slice your tomatoes about ¼ in thick.
- Heat avocado oil or olive oil in a pan on the stove over medium to low heat until warm. You'll want to oil to be warmed up before you start to fry the tomatoes!
- Whisk together egg and coconut milk in one bowl and the cassava flour with the seasonings in another.
- Once the oil is hot, dip each tomato slice in the egg and milk mixture, ensuring to cover each side, then move to the flour mixture.
- After completely coating the tomato entire slice in the flour, add it to the heated pan. It should sizzle!
- Cook each side until browned (about 3-5 minutes) and repeat with all of the tomatoes.
- Serve warm with aioli/sauce for dipping, in your favorite sandwich/burger or over a salad!
Notes
For best results, reheat leftovers in an air fryer, oven or conventional toaster oven.
