For extra flavor, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cornmeal mixture for a subtle kick. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a quick substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1/2 cup of milk. Ensure the tomatoes are in a single layer in the air fryer basket to allow for even cooking and maximum crispness. Overcrowding will result in soggy tomatoes. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture. These are delicious with ranch dressing, sriracha mayo, or a homemade remoulade sauce.

Follow The Directions
01
StepSeason tomato slices generously with salt and pepper. (5 minutes)
02
StepPrepare three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with the buttermilk and eggs mixture, and a third with panko bread crumbs, cornmeal, garlic powder, and paprika. (5 minutes)
03
StepDredge each tomato slice in flour, shake off the excess, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally press into the cornmeal mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. (10 minutes)
04
StepPreheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly brush the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)
05
StepWorking in batches, place the breaded tomato slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they don't touch. Brush the tops with olive oil. (5 minutes per batch)
06
StepAir fry for 12 minutes, then carefully flip the tomatoes and brush again with olive oil. Continue cooking until they are crisp and golden brown, about 3-5 minutes more. (15-17 minutes)
07
StepTransfer the fried green tomatoes to a paper towel-lined rack to drain and maintain their crispness. Repeat with any remaining tomatoes.
