Notes

    • I prefer to cut my green tomatoes into wedges instead of slices. This is a personal preference. This recipe works for tomatoes slices too.
    • For the grated parmesan cheese, I prefer to use the cheap kind in the green jar.
    • Modify the seasonings to your own taste.
    • Dip these southern fried green tomatoes in ketchup, mustard, salsa, gravy, etc. I prefer to drizzle them in spicy honey. Yum!
    • You may need to fry these up in batches.
