Baked “Fried” Green Tomatoes

Baked "Fried" Green Tomatoes

Preheat oven to 400º F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Grate or process the Parmesan cheese until the consistency is just slightly more coarse than flour.

Combine dry ingredients (flour, cheese, salt, pepper, and spices) in a shallow bowl and set aside.

Beat one egg in a shallow bowl.

Cut tomatoes into thin slices, about 1/4 - 1/3 inch thick.

Take each slice and submerge both sides into beaten egg until coated. Then, dredge each slice through the dry mixture until evenly coated. You may need to coax the mixture to stick in places.

Place slices on the parchment-lined baking sheet and bake on the top oven rack for about 25 minutes. You should see a nice brown color on the surface of the coating and a little bubbling coming from the center of the tomatoes.

Allow to cool and serve plain, or with a dip of your choosing!

Roasted Red Pepper Aioli

Preheat oven to 375ºF.

Place red bell pepper on a non-stick baking sheet. Lightly coat with olive oil, if desired. Bake for about 25 minutes.

Remove stem and seed membrane after the bell pepper has cooled.

Combine all ingredients in a food processor. Add more Greek yogurt if you want a thicker consistency. Chill before serving.

Sprinkle with crumbled Feta cheese.
