Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 green tomatoes
- 1 tsp cooking spray or vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Prep the air fryer basket with nonstick spray or brush it with oil. This prevents the tomatoes and breading from sticking to the basket.
- Crack an egg into a shallow bowl and whisk it up.
- Pour a 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs onto a plate. Sprinkle in garlic powder and paprika (adds a nice color to the breading), then stir with a fork to spread seasonings throughout the breadcrumbs.
- Cut the tomatoes into slices and remove the stems.
- Place both sides of each tomato slice into the egg and then the breadcrumbs, and finally add it to the air fryer basket.
- Cook at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
- Once the tomatoes are done cooking, use a spatula to move them to a serving plate. Top with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
- Add seasonings of your choice to the breadcrumbs or you can omit them if the breadcrumbs are already seasoned
- Press tomato slices into the breadcrumbs to ensure that the coating stays on the tomatoes during the cooking process
- Flipping the tomato slices during cooking is optional. They do still brown on both sides and jostling them could remove the breading
- We add salt and pepper when the tomatoes are done cooking as it's hard to judge the right amount before they go in the air fryer
