Baked Fried Green Tomatoes Recipe

Fried green tomatoes are good, but Baked Fried Green Tomatoes are better. Get the recipe at www.drugstoredivas.net.

I keep joking, saying next year I’ll grow cherry tomatoes. They’re so tiny and take a very short time to grow and ripen, so you can eat them quickly. This year, though, I’m growing beefsteak tomatoes. While the end result is a huge tomato that’s perfect for something like a BLT or tomato sandwich, it takes a long time from when the plant flowers to when it’s ripe. So earlier this season, I got tired of waiting and picked a green tomato to make this Baked Fried Green Tomatoes recipe.

I like them a lot. Totally worth pulling green tomatoes off the plant early. And baked fried green tomatoes are a lot easier to make (and clean up) than traditional fried green tomatoes. Plus, you use less oil so they’re less calories than their fried cousins.

We ate them with a spicy sour cream dip (which was just sour cream and chili paste), and that was delicious too.

You can use this same technique if you want to make eggplant rounds for baked eggplant parmesan instead of frying those too.

They look so delicious! Can I use red tomatoes instead? I don't think I can find the green ones where I live.

You can, just be careful. The green tomatoes aren't fully ripe yet, so they're a little harder than red tomatoes are.
