If you’ve ever spent time in the South, you’ve probably heard of fried green tomatoes. They’re a classic way to enjoy these firm, tangy tomatoes while they’re still unripe.
But have you ever thought about enjoying green tomatoes without frying them?
Green tomatoes have a pleasantly tart flavor and firm texture that makes them surprisingly versatile. You can slice them into a fresh salsa, add them to sandwiches, chop them into salads or roast them with your favorite herbs and seasonings.
And if you love the idea of that crispy fried texture, you can even bake them with a seasoned cornmeal coating for an oil-free twist on the classic.
As summer winds down, green tomatoes are a fun reminder that there’s more to the tomato harvest than waiting for them to turn red.
Have you ever tried green tomatoes and how do you like to enjoy them?
I started out over a decade ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
