Fried Green Tomato BLT Sandwich
This is not your basic BLT. No ma'am! This sandwich has thick crispy, juicy slices of air-fried green tomatoes, and slices of bacon, (I used turkey bacon because I don't eat swine, but if you do, that's your prerogative), fresh Spring mix (my favorite greens) between two slices of fluffy brioche bread. Oh, and the tomatoes are slathered with a flavorful homemade remoulade. Listen, if you're not ready for a flavor party in your mouth then just skip this air fried tomato BLT. However, if you are, then keep reading. This sandwich is so good, you'll make it for brunch and then crave another one at dinner time.

Air Fryer Green Tomatoes
The best part about this recipe is that I made the fried green tomatoes in the air fryer, so I didn't have to worry about getting popped by hot grease as I was cooking, or fussing over the timing of dipping and frying. However, if you don't own an air fryer you can still make these tomatoes in the oven or toaster oven. You may have to adjust your cooking time for those appliances. If you don't own either of those, you can make them on the stove and they will still be delicious, just protect your arms (lol)!
Ingredients You’ll Need:
The full recipe is at the end.
For the Air Fryer Green Tomatoes:
2 green tomatoes, sliced thick (about 4 slices per tomato)
1 cup flour
1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
1 egg
½ cup milk (or a dairy-free substitute like almond milk)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Cooking oil spray
Don't skip out on this homemade remoulade. It seriously takes the fried green tomato BLT to the next level! I could seriously eat the remoulade with just the fried green tomatoes and still be satisfied. But we're going all the way today, so make the sauce and the sandwich!
For the Remoulade Sauce:
1 cup mayonnaise
¼ cup ketchup
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
½–1 teaspoon Creole seasoning
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
Pinch of black pepper
Optional: a dash of hot sauce for heat
Prep your stations:
Whisk together egg and milk in one bowl.
Combine flour with the seasonings in a second bowl.
Add Panko to a third bowl.
Dredge the tomato slices:
Coat each slice in flour, then dip in the egg mixture, then press into the Panko until well coated.
Air fry to crispy perfection:
Lightly spray both sides of the tomato slices with cooking oil.
Place in your air fryer basket in a single layer.
Cook at 400°F for 5 minutes. Flip, spray again, and cook 5 more minutes until golden and crispy.
No air fryer? Bake at 425°F for about 10–15 minutes, flipping halfway, or pan-fry carefully on the stovetop.

Now for the fun part!
