Why Fry Red Tomatoes Instead of Green?
Green tomatoes are firm and tart, making them great for frying—but red tomatoes bring a whole new flavor experience. Here’s what makes them special:

A great use for tomatoes that are slightly overripe

Faster cooking time due to softer texture

With the right coating and technique, red tomatoes fry up beautifully without falling apart.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Eggs, beaten

Salt & pepper

Paprika or cayenne (optional)
