Reviews forZesty Fried Green Tomatoes

"I had some late green tomatoes and this was the perfect recipe for them. The coating stayed on very well and they were very tasty!"
"No Green Tomatoes? No problem this one is fabulous with The Reds. They are super crunchy and so delicious. My tomatoes were on the Firmer side which made them perfect for this recipe. Great as a side or as a Base for White Country Gravy. A real breakfast special. Now's the perfect time for this wonderful recipe.
JanieTaste of home Volunteer Field Editor""My first ever fried green toatoes! Minor changes- instead of garlic salt, I used Roasted Granulated Garlic instead of the garlic salt. I sprinkled kosher salt on the tomatoes after they were fried. I made them into an amazing BLT with sourdough bread. Great recipe!"
"I prefer without the ingredients that make it zesty! I only include the garlic salt, not other 3 spices."
