Ingredients
  

  • 2 green tomatoes
  • ½ cup brown rice flour
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese shredded finely
  • 1 ½ teaspoons dried onion
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • pinch freshly-ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400º F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Grate or process the Parmesan cheese until the consistency is just slightly more coarse than flour.
  • Combine dry ingredients (flour, cheese, salt, pepper, and spices) in a shallow bowl and set aside.
  • Beat one egg in a shallow bowl.
  • Cut tomatoes into thin slices, about ¼ - ⅓ inch thick.
  • Take each slice and submerge both sides into beaten egg until coated. Then, dredge each slice through the dry mixture until evenly coated. You may need to coax the mixture to stick in places.
  • Place slices on the parchment-lined baking sheet and bake on the top oven rack for about 25 minutes. You should see a nice brown color on the surface of the coating and a little bubbling coming from the center of the tomatoes.
  • Allow to cool and serve plain, or with a dip of your choosing!
