I have 20 huge tomato plants in my garden to can tomato sauce with. I have billions of beautiful, bright green tomatoes out there.. I adore fried green tomatoes.

And what do I love more than a hot, sizzling, fried green tomato? Not being fat! :)

So I thinly sliced one up, tossed it in a little yellow cornmeal with salt, pepper, garlic powder, drizzled it with water (so it'll stick better, no egg dip) and re-dipped it in the corn meal.. baked it on a well PAM'ed cookie sheat for about 25 minutes on 350*.

It wasn't as perfect as one fresh out of the fryer but it was pretty dang close and fulled my need for that fix.. crunchy outside and mushy, hot sour tomato inside. So there's something to try for you fellow green tomato lovers. :)

    Great idea! I was looking forward to some fried green tomatoes this summer, and now I have a healthier alternative. Thanks for sharing!

    next time try using fiber one ceral that has been ground up in a food processor as your breading... ads LOTS of fiber... I use it in replace of breading on chicken tenders I made in the oven for crispy chicken strips and as a breading for fried pickles... also made in the oven!

    I thought that was just the name of a movie. Sounds yummy, though.
