Ingredients

  • 2 Medium Green Tomatoes
  • 1 cup crushed pork rind crumbs which is around 3 oz
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour or almond flour if keto
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon season salt
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Start by preheating your air fryer to 350 degrees. Now you want to wash and dry your tomatoes and slice them around 1/4-1/2 inch thick.
  • Then in a container add your flour, salt, pepper, paprika, and season all to make the flour base for your fried green tomatoes.
  • Now in another bowl add your beaten egg and whipping cream and mix up.
  • Grab one last plate or bowl and do your ground pork rind crumbs for coating your green tomatoes.
  • Now you will dip both sides of your tomato in the flour dredge, followed by dipping green tomato in egg wash, followed by the pork rinds.
  • Place the coated tomatoes on the air fryer rack and cook 4-5 minutes and flip, and cook another 4-5 minutes.
  • Once done place on plate and serve these easy fried green tomatoes with your favorite dipping sauce. This is an easy appetizer or side dish made right in your air fryer.

Notes

Bake Green Tomatoes - Batter the tomtatoes the same way, and then place in a single layer on baking sheet. Bake at 425 degrees for 5 minutes, flip, and cook until crispy.
Deep fry green tomatoes - Same thing, do the same directions and then pan fry in hot oil. Once the outside is crispy brown, remove and place on a paper towel lined plate.
Feel free to make as many tomatoes as you would like. Just batch cook the tomatoes. Make sure the tomatoes don't overlap in the air fryer, or they will not crisp up.
Spritz tomatoes with oil to help get the coating nice and golden.
