You don't need a deep fryer to make delicious green tomatoes in a crispy breading! Roll tomato slices in sour milk, coat with breadcrumbs, and bake in the oven without excess oil or fat. The key to this recipe is panko breadcrumbs. They're larger and fluffier than traditional breadcrumbs, making them especially crispy.

The recipes use measuring containers with the following volumes:
1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.
3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.
2/3 cup (st.) - 160 ml.
1/2 cup (st.) - 125 ml.
1/3 cup (st.) - 80 ml.
1/4 cup (st.) - 60 ml.
1 tablespoon (tbsp) - 15 ml.
1 teaspoon (tsp) - 5 ml.
1/5 teaspoon (tsp) - 1 ml.

1 cup premium flour
1.5 tsp fine sea salt
1.5 teaspoons Cajun or Creole seasoning
2 cups panko breadcrumbs

Fried green tomatoes are an American dish enjoyed during the harvest season, when late tomatoes—those picked before they're fully ripe—are ripening on the vine. Unripe green tomatoes have a tart, grassy flavor and a firm texture, making them well-suited for frying.
