Recipe: Crispy Southern Fried Green Tomatoes
A classic Southern favorite, these crispy fried green tomatoes are perfectly golden on the outside and tangy on the inside. This recipe walks you through every step to achieve the perfect crunch using simple ingredients.
Fried green tomatoes are one of my favorite small plates meals. I’m the only one in the house that eats them, so I can have all the fried green tomatoes to myself! As a little girl, I learned how to make these from the babysitter’s grandson. He made it seem so easy and it truly is a quick meal. It may have been one of the first dishes I learned how to make. Or maybe that was grilled cheese!
