Needless to say, I was pretty excited when my mom got our family an air fryer for Christmas a couple of years back. It was something I had been wanting to experiment with ever since I’d first heard about it.
What can you cook in an air fryer?
The options of what you can cook in this amazing appliance are truly endless! We’ve cooked tofu, potatoes, french fries, Brussel sprouts and more! Anything that your taste buds want to try straight out of the air fryer, give it a go!
I have been experimenting with all types of food and some beautiful green tomatoes caught my eye at our local market. I just had to try them in the power air fryer!
For us, we love to use our Power AirFryer XL (affiliate ad link).
How easy is it to use the air fryer?
When I say it’s super simple, it’s simple. You literally set the temp, figure out the time, and wait for that food to be done. Is there any other appliance out there that is as simple as that? And clean-up? A total breeze.
Even our animal coworker Cabi, the Tabby says that the air fryer is great!
Air Fryer Success Every Time
I’ve owned my air fryer now for a while, and I have to be honest…I’ve yet to find a recipe that I don’t love. And did I mention how simple it is?
To say I’m a creature of habit is an understatement. I love being able to cook a meal and know with confidence that it’s going to taste amazing each and every time.
With the Air Fryer, I absolutely have no doubts. I know that from the moment I press start, to the moment that I remove the food from the machine, it will be cooked to perfection each and every time.
For the coating, I used a combination of cornmeal and gluten-free panko. In this particular recipe, we used Ian’s Gluten Free Italian Bread Crumbs. (affiliate ad link)
These particular gluten-free bread crumbs are super allergen friendly. So if you need to avoid things like eggs, milk, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, and wheat, you should check them out!
Before you make this air fried green tomatoes, you need to grab:
- green tomatoes
- panko
- cornmeal
- egg
- spray oil
How to make air fryer fried green tomatoes:
- You want to start with the tomatoes sliced and place them on paper towels. I like to season with salt and pepper.
- Instead of using a convection oven or the traditional frying method you are going to fall in love with this air fried recipe. Dip the sliced tomatoes into the beaten eggs and then into the panko and cornmeal mixture. Be sure to cover both sides.
- Place tomatoes into the air fryer basket.
- You are going to cook until golden on both sides. (400F for 12 minutes) I like to serve mine with a dipping sauce too!
The secret is in the sauce?
You don’t need to dip them into a sauce but I like to dip the tomatoes! I love to dip them into ranch, you can also use sour cream or salsa! YUM!
