How to Make Another Fried Green Tomato Recipe

  1. Chill your green tomatoes in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
  2. Slice green tomatoes into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
  3. In a shallow dish, whisk together 1/2 cup Drake's Crispy Fry Mix (or substitute with 1/2 cup cornmeal and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour), 1 tablespoon paprika, and 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning (optional).
  4. In a separate shallow dish, pour 1/2 cup of milk.
  5. Heat about 1 inch of canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Dip each tomato slice in the milk, then dredge thoroughly in the seasoned fry mix, ensuring it's fully coated.
  7. Carefully place the coated tomato slices in the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove the fried green tomatoes from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  9. Sprinkle immediately with a pinch of salt.
  10. Serve hot and enjoy!
