Ingredients
  

  • 4 large or medium green tomatoes firm
  • 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt more for sprinkling
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
  • Pam or similar cooking spray or olive oil / vegetable oil for drizzling

Instructions
 

  • Cut tomatoes into 1/8 inch thick slices.
  • On a large plate or shallow bowl, mix flour, salt, and pepper. Whisk together yogurt and buttermilk on a second bowl / plate, and place panko bread crumbs in a third bowl. Coat tomatoes with the flour mixture, then the yogurt – buttermilk mixture (you may want to put the yogurt in a small bowl so that dipping them is easier), and finally the Panko Bread Brumbs.
  • Place coated tomatoes on a large rimmed baking sheet optionally lined with parchment paper. Spray tomatoes with cooking spray liberally on both sides, or drizzle the tomatoes on both sides with olive oil. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 7 minutes on one side then flip them over and bake for another 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Transfer to a platter or pan lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Sprinkle with extra salt and serve warm.
