Ingredients
- Oil
- 4 green tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch rings
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 4 eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs
- Pinch cayenne pepper
- Pinch paprika
- Buttermilk Dipping Sauce, recipe follows
- 1 cup apple cider
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Neelys BBQ sauce
- 1 lime, juiced
- 4 scallions, sliced thin
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a deep-fryer, preheat oil to 350 degrees F.
- Season tomatoes, on both sides, with salt and pepper. Place flour and garlic powder in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish, beat eggs with the milk. In another dish, mix bread crumbs with cayenne and paprika. Dredge tomatoes through the flour, then the eggs, and then through the bread crumbs. Add only a few pieces to the fryer at a time, so they can cook evenly, about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels and serve with Buttermilk Dipping Sauce:
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the apple cider and brown sugar. Allow to reduce until thick and syrupy. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- In a medium bowl, add buttermilk, mayonnaise, BBQ sauce and lime juice and whisk well. Add in the scallions and the apple cider mixture. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve with Fried Green Tomatoes.

Fabulous!
Fantastic recipe!! Made a fried green tomato BLT (didn’t make the dipping sauce) and that was a great sandwich with the tomatoes, pan fried sourdough, arugula, thick cut bacon and a roasted garlic aioli !! A definite keeper – I saved it 3 different places !
Great recipe! We loved it!
My go to for green tomatoes better than any I’ve had at a restaurant.
Best I’ve ever had, and that’s no joke and I had a lot. I’m gonna try this with squash and zucchini and green beans.
Wow!! That’s the best Fried Green Tomatoes so far family loved them. YAY
These were amazing! I found my forever recipe! My family was so happy thanks
Excellent ! I’ve made fried green tomatoes before – was never happy with the results. Love this recipe – served with dill/ranch dressing !
This recipe is so good, that my wife and I are always disappointed when we order fried green tomatoes at restaurants.
