- 4 green tomatoes, sliced

Instructions
- Preheat your vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat.
- Prepare your breading station using three bowls: one with flour mixed with salt and pepper, another with buttermilk, and the last with cornmeal.

Notes
For extra crunch, use coarse cornmeal and let the dipped tomatoes sit for a few minutes before frying.
