     These were knock your socks off delicious. Even the fussy little grandkids liked them because they are lightly crispy on the outside, and topped with sauce and cheese.  They thought they were having mini pizza. 

If you are lucky enough to have a garden that produced a lot of Tomatoes and Zucchini, but you’re getting sick to death of BLTs, Tomato Sandwiches, Zucchini Bread, Sauteed Zucchini, etc. give this a try! FRIED GREEN TOMATO PARMESAN AND FRIED ZUCCHINI PARMESAN The Vegetables were knock your socks off delicious. Even the fussy little grandkids liked them because they were lightly crispy on the outside, and topped with sauce and cheese. They said it was like eating mini pizza.

Bob loves fried green tomatoes. Unfortunately, I never remember to make them until one of our tomatoes falls off the vine before it ripens. The kids mentioned a few Tomatoes had fallen, and just like that – I had a revelation! Fried Green Tomatoes for Bob! Between the garden (which is about 1 step from the back door) and the house, I changed my mind. I thought, “Hmm, I wonder what Fried Green Tomatoes Parmesan would taste like?”

In the few seconds it took to wash the tomatoes and turn to the counter, I saw a Zucchini just lying on the counter. I thought, “Hmm, I wonder what Fried Zucchini Parmesan would taste like?” And I was off! This is how my mind works sometimes when I’m in the kitchen. Things just pop in there. I have no clue if Fried Green Tomato Parmesan – OR – Fried Zucchini Parmesan are real dishes or not. I’ve never heard of either.

INGREDIENTS:

2 Medium Green Tomatoes, washed and thinly sliced.

1 Small Zucchini, washed and sliced 1/2” thick

1 cup AP flour

½ cup yellow corn meal

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp parsley

Salt and pepper

2 eggs, beaten

2 TBSP milk

PREPARATION:

In a small bowl, beat egg and milk. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

Place flour and corn meal in a second bowl, add parsley, garlic powder, onion powder. Stir.

Dip sliced tomatoes first in flour, then in egg, then in flour again. Coat both sides. Repeat with the Zucchini.

I cooked everything in the air fryer on one tray (See pics). I used aluminum foil which I lightly sprayed with cooking spray. After breading, I drizzled with Olive Oil and cooked them 10 min in air fryer until they were golden brown. Then I flipped them over, drizzled more olive oil and cooked for 6 -7 minutes or until they were golden brown.

Dab a little Spaghetti Sauce or Marinara on top of each one. Sprinkle Parmesan, Romano, and Mozzarella Cheese on top. Return to air fryer for 1 – 2 minutes or until Cheeses are bubbly and golden.

NOTE: These could easily be pan fried, cooked in a convection oven, or a standard oven.
