Air Fryer Fried Green Tomatoes

01Method

1. 1

   Sprinkle the tomato slices on both sides with salt and pepper.

2. 2

   Set out three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with buttermilk and beaten eggs whisked together, and one combining panko crumbs, cornmeal, garlic powder, and paprika.

3. 3

   Coat each tomato slice in flour and shake off any excess, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally press both sides firmly into the cornmeal-panko mixture.

4. 4

   Heat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and lightly brush the basket with olive oil.

5. 5

   Arrange breaded tomato slices in a single layer in the basket, making sure none overlap. Brush the tops with olive oil.

6. 6

   Air fry for 12 minutes, then flip each slice and brush with more olive oil. Cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes until golden and crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined rack. Repeat with any remaining slices.
