Low Carb Baked Green Tomatoes

My summer garden just got a bit more productive thanks to Low Carb Baked Green Tomatoes>
That is because I can bake this treat rather than fry it.
 

Low Carb Baked Green Tomatoes

As a kind of a bit of disclosure here, I must say that I never even thought about Fried Green Tomatoes until I saw the movie.
 

I mean, what woman of my demographic has never used the line “I’m older…I have more insurance..” ? So, I guess that I must dedicate this recipe to that classic movie.
 

To be honest, this is an update to an older post.
The reasoning for the update is that I have since purchased an air fryer. Thus, these Low Carb Baked Green Tomatoes can be made in the oven or in an air fryer.
 

However, this recipe still remains low carb.

The bulk of the carbohydrates that are in this recipe come from the tomatoes. To make this recipe low carb you will need to use low carb flour Carbalose flour alternative. You will also need low carb bread crumbs, which you can find online as well. Lastly, air fryers are relatively inexpensive and are nice to have around for a recipe such as this one.

Low Carb Baked Green Tomatoes

The recipe for Low Carb Baked Green Tomatoes.

 
This recipe does not contain corn meal.
 
Corn meal is an integral part of most fried green tomato recipes. However, because this is a low carb recipe, we will omit the corn meal. However, if you feel that you must have corn meal in your recipe, simply sub in 1/2 cup of corn meal for 1/2 cup of the flour.
 

What you will need to make Low Carb Baked Green Tomatoes

• Green Tomatoes- 4 large. Beefsteak or similar varieties work well as long as they are green and not ripe.
• Flour alternative- 1 1/2 cup Carbalose flour alternative- low carb!
• Low Carb Bread Crumbs- 3/4 cup. See post above for details.
• Eggs- 2.
• Milk- 1/2 cup.
• Seasonings (such as salt, paprika, pepper etc) to taste.

How to make Low Carb Baked Green Tomatoes

• Oven method- prep a flat pan with a cooling rack on top for nonstick. For example, place a cooling rack sprayed with nonstick on top of the baking sheet which has parchment paper on it. If using an air fryer, simply spray nonstick or olive oil on the basket itself. Preheat an oven to 350 or air fryer to 400.
• Slice your tomatoes to 1/2″ and discard the ends. Place the tomato slices on a paper towel to allow them to drain a bit.
• To make these, we will be making a dredging station. You will need two shallow bowls to do this. In the first bowl combine together the flour alternative and the bread crumbs. You can add your seasonings here or before you bake your tomatoes.
• Now in the second bowl whip together the eggs and milk.
• Drag the first tomato slice first through the wet ingredients and then through the dry ingredients. Season as desired and place the individual tomato slice either in the basket or on the rack. Continue to do this step until either all of your oven-baked tomato slices have been dipped or the air fryer basket is full. Since you do not want overlapping of the tomato slices, you may have to do the air frying in batches.
• Oven bake for 45-50 minutes or until crisp, flipping the slices mid way through the baking process. Air fry the tomato slices for 10-12 minutes until crisp, flipping mid way through baking.
