How to Make Oven Fried Green Tomatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a shallow dish, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.
  3. In another shallow dish, beat 2 large eggs with 2 tablespoons of water.
  4. In a third shallow dish, place 1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs.
  5. Slice green tomatoes into 1/2-inch thick rounds. If using ripe tomatoes, choose firm ones and slice similarly.
  6. Dredge each tomato slice in the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  7. Dip the floured tomato slice into the egg mixture, letting excess drip off.
  8. Finally, coat the tomato slice in the panko bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  9. Place the breaded tomato slices on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
  10. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  11. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or aioli.
