Healthier Fried Green Tomatoes-Oven Style~
Fried Green Tomatoes are one of my favorite things to eat! I just don't eat them very often, first because no one does fried green tomatoes like the south and since I don't get down as much as I would love to, I'm forced to eat Maryland ones. :( So here's my healthier spin on fried green tomatoes. We just did it oven style with a Maryland twist! Forgot to take a picture of the remoulade sauce before my family gobbled them down! Hope you enjoy them as much as my family did! Let me know how yours turn out!Ingredients:
- 3-4 large green tomatoes
- 1 1/2c almond milk
- 1 c quinoa or wheat flour
- 2 c of Panko bread crumbs
- coconut oil vegetable spray
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp parsley (chopped finely)
- 1 1/2 Tbs of Old Bay-(crab seasoning)
- Large pinch of salt and pepper
- Arugula (optional)
Remoulade:
- 1/3 c of olive oil mayo
- 1 Tbs whole grain mustard
- 1 Tbs cornichons
- 2 Tbs parsley
- 1 garlic clove mashed
- 1 tsp of capers
- 1 tsp of lemon juice
- 1 tsp of olive oil
For the remoulade mix all ingredients into a food processor except capers and cornichons. Blend until it liquefies. Then roughly chop capers and cornichons and add to the top of remoulade. Place in a glass bowl and set aside.Preheat oven for 400 degrees. Spray baking pans with Coconut oil (vegetable) spray.In 3 separate bowls- put quinoa or wheat flour in one, almond milk in another, and add salt, pepper, parsley, paprika, old bay, and panko crumbs to the last bowl and mix well.Cut tomatoes 1/8 inch thick. Dip tomato first in flour, then milk, then panko mixture. 
Place on the baking sheet. Put tomatoes in the oven for 18-20 minutes. Flip once at about 10 minutes or when the tomatoes begin to brown.Once they're done. You can place a bed of arugula on a plate, stack 3-4 tomatoes on top and pour your yummy remoulade on top! They're so good you may go back for seconds!! Not 100% healthy! But you do have to live a little and they're a lot healthier than those yummy deep fried ones that I still can't get enough of! Enjoy!
