Fried Green Tomatoes (Crispy Southern Style)

DESCRIPTION

Fried Green Tomatoes are a classic Southern comfort food made from firm, unripe green tomatoes that stay sturdy when fried. Each slice is coated in a seasoned flour-and-cornmeal crust, creating a crunchy, golden exterior while the inside stays tender and slightly tangy.

They’re quick, budget-friendly, and perfect as a snack, appetizer, or side dish. Enjoy them with ranch, remoulade, spicy mayo, or simply salted right out of the pan.
