Baked Green Tomato Slices

Bakded slices is an alternative to a fried green tomato recipe I published here in August 2017. My garden was off to a late start, yet I was so pleased to harvest green tomatoes!

Ingredients

Green tomatoes, 3 medium

Flour, 1 and ½ cup

Salt & pepper, 1/8 teaspoon each

Plain yogurt, ½ cup

Panko bread crumbs, 1 cup

Oil spray

Olive oil, 2 tablespoons

Parchment paper, cut to fit

Preparation

Rinse the tomatoes, cut a bit of the stem end. Use three shallow bowls. Add the flour, salt and pepper in one bowl, mix with a fork. Add yogurt to a second bowl. Add the panko to a third. Cut or fold the parchment paper to fit a large baking/cookie sheet. Cut the tomatoes into ¼ inch slices. Working with one slice at a time, coat with flour. Then place in the yogurt. I smeared a thin coat of yogurt, using my finger. Then place in the panko and pat the panko to coat both sides. Place on the baking sheet. Create a single layer, spaced apart. Spray the coated slices with oil. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 10 minutes. Use a spatula to flip. Drizzle olive oil over each slice. Bake for 20 minutes. Test for doneness with a fork. They will be firm and soft when done.
