Fried Green Tomatoes

Fried Green Tomatoes are a crispy and tangy Southern delight, perfect for a Paleo breakfast. This dish combines the crunch of fried green tomatoes with a zesty almond flour coating, making it a wholesome and satisfying start to your day.

Ingredients

• 2 medium green tomatoes - sliced 1/2 inch thick
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large eggs - beaten
• 1/4 cup coconut oil - for frying

Steps

1. Begin by slicing the green tomatoes into 1/2 inch thick slices and set aside.
2. In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. In another bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
4. Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
5. Dip each tomato slice into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.
6. Carefully place the coated tomato slices in the hot skillet and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
7. Remove the fried green tomatoes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
