Ingredients: 6
Delight in the delicious flavors of these crispy and aromatic fried tomatoes seasoned with fragrant spices.
Ingredients
| 2 | medium firm tomatoes (about ¾ pound) |
|---|---|

| 1 | teaspoon cinnamon |
| 1⁄2 | teaspoon ground cumin |
| 1 | pinch kosher salt, plus extra for serving |
| 1 | tablespoon olive oil (more or less) |
Instructions
-
- Begin by halving the tomatoes and delicately removing and discarding the seeds. Note: this step can be skipped when using Roma or plum tomatoes. Proceed to slice the tomatoes into thick pieces.
- Combine the flour, cinnamon, cumin, and a pinch of kosher salt on a plate. Gently coat each tomato slice in this seasoned mixture, ensuring that both sides are evenly covered.
- Preheat a sturdy skillet over medium heat for a few minutes. Once the skillet is adequately hot, add the olive oil, allow it to heat for approximately 10 seconds, then swirl to coat the pan.
- Carefully fry the seasoned tomato slices in the hot oil until they achieve a crispy texture, approximately one to two minutes per side. Exercise caution to prevent burning.
- Transfer the fried tomato slices to a plate and let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving, as the interior juices may be very hot. Serve with additional kosher salt on the table and savor the delightful flavors!
