Oven Fried Tomatillos

Yield

Yield: 4 Servings

Ingredients

  • Olive oil cooking spray
  • 1 pound tomatillos, husks removed, rinsed and cut into ½-inch thick slices
  • ¼ tsp salt
    ¼ tsp ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Creole or Cajun seasoning (or other spice blend to your liking)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise

Instructions

  1. Position an oven rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 425°F.
  2. Sprinkle tomatillo slices with salt and pepper.  Set aside.
  3. Combine the flour, garlic powder and seasoning blend of your choosing in a shallow dish.  Crack the eggs into a separate dish and lightly beat the eggs.  Put the breadcrumbs in a third dish.  Dredge the tomatillos in the flour mixture, dip in the egg and then coat both sides with breadcrumbs.  Place the breaded tomatillo slices on a backing sheet with a rack.  Generously coat the slices with cooking spray.
  4. Bake the tomatillos for about 8 minutes or until the top side is crispy.  Turn the slices over and spray the second side with cooking spray.  Return the tomatillos to the oven and bake an additional 6 minutes or until the second side is also crispy.
  5. Meanwhile, combine the ketchup and mayonnaise in a small bowl.  Serve the tomatillos warm with the dipping sauce.  The outside of the slices will be crispy and the inside will be warm and soft.
