For best results, use firm, unripe green tomatoes. They should be hard to the touch. Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket! Cook in batches to ensure even cooking and maximum crispiness. Feel free to adjust the seasoning to your liking. A pinch of cayenne pepper adds a nice kick. Serve immediately for the crispiest texture. These are delicious on their own or as a side dish.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray. (2 minutes)
02
StepIn a shallow dish, whisk the egg. In a separate shallow dish, combine the cornmeal, flour, panko bread crumbs, salt, and pepper. (5 minutes)
03
StepDip each tomato slice into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, dredge the tomato in the cornmeal mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated. Gently shake off any excess breading. (10 minutes)

05
StepAir fry for 8 minutes. Flip the tomatoes, spray any dry spots with cooking spray, and cook for an additional 4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. (12 minutes)
06
StepTransfer the fried green tomatoes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat with the remaining tomato slices. (5 minutes)
