Oven Fried Green Tomatoes with Spicy Ranch
Oven Fried Green Tomatoes with Spicy Ranch are baked until golden with a crisp almond flour and lemon pepper coating, then served warm with a creamy sriracha ranch dip. This gluten-free summer side has all the tangy crunch you want without frying in oil.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups finely ground almond flour
- 1 tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning
- 5 to 6 green tomatoes sliced into about 12 slices that are 1/2 inch thick
- 2 eggs beaten
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and spray a large baking sheet generously with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the almond flour and lemon pepper seasoning, then beat the eggs in another shallow bowl.
- Dip one green tomato slice at a time into the beaten egg, coating both sides and letting the excess drip off briefly.
- Place the egg-coated tomato slice into the almond flour mixture, turn it over, and gently press the coating onto both sides so it adheres well.
- Set the breaded tomato slice on the greased baking sheet and repeat with the remaining slices, arranging them in a single layer with a little room between each one.
- Bake the tomatoes for 20 minutes, carefully flip every slice, and return the pan to the oven for another 15 to 20 minutes until the coating is golden brown.
- Once the tomatoes are golden, sprinkle them with salt and pepper to taste and let them sit on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving.
- While the tomatoes cool slightly, stir together the ranch dressing and sriracha in a small bowl.
- Serve the oven fried green tomatoes warm with the spicy ranch alongside for dipping.
Notes
Store leftover oven fried green tomatoes in an airtight container or zip-top bag in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, with a piece of paper towel in the container to help with moisture. Reheat on a cookie sheet at 350°F for a few minutes until warmed through; do not microwave, or the coating will soften. Store the spicy ranch separately in the refrigerator and stir before serving leftovers.
