Classic Southern Fried Green Tomatoes
2 medium to large green tomatoes
Sugar for sprinkling
Black pepper
1 cup cornmeal mix
2 tablespoons Red River Ranch Mesquite or other all-purpose seasoning
1 cup all-purpose flour (divided)
1 ( 5 oz.) sack Texas Toast Garlic Cheese Croutons (or other seasoned croutons), finely crushed
1 egg
1 cup buttermilk
Fry oil (Canola oil, peanut, etc.)
-Slice the tomatoes about ¼ - inch thick and set on two paper towels.
-Sprinkle both sides of the tomatoes generously with the sugar and then with the black pepper. Cover with a paper towel and let set 10 minutes.
-In a bowl, combine the cornmeal mix, seasoning and ½ cup of the flour. Set aside.
-In a separate bowl, combine the bread crumbs and the remaining ½ cup flour.
-In a third bowl, whisk together the egg and buttermilk.
-Pour the oil in a cast iron skillet about ¼-inch deep. Heat to 350 degrees F.
-Uncover the tomatoes and sprinkle lightly with sugar, once more. Skip this step if you like a more tart tomato.
-Dredge each tomato in the buttermilk followed by the cornmeal mix.
-Dredge through the buttermilk again and then finish in the crouton mixture to generously coat. Lightly pat the crumb mixture on both sides of the tomato so it sticks before frying.
-Fry about 1 - 2 minutes per side or until crispy and golden brown. Let cool on a wire rack. Serve warm.

This is a classic southern fried speciality. And since it's tomato and garden season we thought this would be a great one to share. These come out crispy and with a great flavor with the special crust we put on them.

Born and bred Southerner here. That is the BEST looking fried green tomato I've ever seen! I'm going to have to try this recipe, even with the sugar.
Hope you enjoy Kim
My momma’s from Kentucky and she always fried them in bacon grease. Yum yum. Come to think of it we always had a can of baking grease by the stove. She flavored everything with it. 🤗🤗
Thanks Nancy for watching got to have some bacon grease
My mom and grandma always had some bacon grease to season food with
Thank you and Shannon for reminding me of fried green tomatoes!! As a Canadian, my Mother use to cook them, but I never asked her for the recipe. I really miss both Mom and Dad. As a Veteran, I think of all my Brothers and Sisters every day!! God bless and stay safe!!
Thanks Peter so much
I can't get enough fried green tomatoes. The greener the better. Black Crim are sweet for this. Mother was born in 1929. Learned most of my cooking from her. Good oakie comfort foods. Thank you.
Oh man there’s nothing better than fried green tomatoes
michael lawson Yep!
😊
That s for sure Michael
Well I like girls much better.
Try some fried eggplants.
My Mom made fried red tomatoes and it has a rich tomato flavor that is amazing.
You are the best! My son and i LOVE watching your videos. Not only do we learn recipes, but we also get a good giggle out of it. Thanks so much!
Thank yall for watching
Momma & I love fried green tomatoes. We worked in festival foods at Dollywood a couple of years ago. During the fall festival I was the primary fry cook and momma and other ladies (guys could do it, but the ladies usually beaded them better) prepped many many pounds of tomatoes per day for several weeks! We used panko for the crunch. We offered helpings of tomatoes with a sauce made in-house and also a green tomato BLT on house made bread...we couldn’t keep up. Thanks for sharing with all of us.
Always heard about fried green tomatoes but never had them. After watching this I'm going to have to cook some up.
Hope you enjoy
you will be very happy and will likely cook them again and again.
Can only get green tomatoes. In early summer ! FANTASTIC !!
trryhin. Yes. I grew up in Texas west Texas we had them all the Time !!!!! I still love them ! Fried chicken also salad and some Watermelon !! Eeeee haaaaaaa! Cowboy!!!!
Oh man theyre good
🇺🇸 My brother stationed at Ft. Hood, but I love and respect every serviceman. God bless you all, thank you, and have a good holiday!
Thanks so much and we tip our hat to all who have served and serving now to keep our country safe and free
Haven't had fried green tomatoes in YEARS!!!!! Fresh out the garden! Miss that!
Good eating they are
Love me some fried green tomatoes. Keep the videos coming and Yes Thanks to everyone who has ever stood for this country
Amen Toney, and thanks
I am originally from a farm. I love gardening. Those fried green tomatoes look really good. Soul food!
Living in Hawaii, Kent sure makes me miss grannies cooking back home Ocala forest Florida.
Thanks for watching
Ocala was Fort Repose in the great atomic war book of 1959 called, Alas Babylon. If you have read that could you share if any of the streets or place names are real or if Stewart changed those as well as Ocala's name? Well, do so after frying up a mess of green tomatoes!
I am a Floridian and I still live here I love it but I’ve always when I went to Hawaii but wow from Ocalla to Hawaii wow watching this video is going to make me want to do some fried green tomatoes tomorrow I hope you’re blessed there just wanted to say hello from Florida to another Floridian wish I was in Hawaii to🌴🌴🌴
This is my new favorite video of yours. Not only because I love fried green tomatoes, but because you went from farm to table AND had all those gorgeous scenery shots. I enjoyed the transition music, too. Great job! I'm from Louisiana, grew up on the Red River in Shreveport, and I dip my fried 'maters in remoulade. :)
Thanks Kevan for watching
Fried tomatoes, not something you come across in England. I tried your recipe and I’m utterly addicted. Thank you!!!
Glad you like them!
OMG...Oh my gravy. My mouth was watering again! We love us some fried green matters here in Ga. (Hey, I liked that musical tour of the country side while you were cooking, too!)
Happy 4th of July, Y'all 🇺🇸
Thanks Chris
I will have to try this one. I like fried green tomatoes, but I have tried the basic recipe with a firm red tomato, and it tasted great! Like crunchy tomato soup!
Likely a zillion others have mentioned the Whistle Stop Café, but it really is an all time favorite of mine. We live a stone's throw from it and know secret 'is always in the sauce' and in a great recipe- like yours C. Kent! Live long and prosper!
Thanks John for watching
Fried green tomatoes were one of my grandmother's favourites. She has been gone many years now but thank you Kent for bringing back some sweet memories.
Thank you Michael for watching
Prefer mine to be really green but still love watching thanx!
Thank you for watching
Don't add sugar, but a little ground nutmeg.
Happy Independence Day to you Kent and Shannon!
My best friend for over 40 years, who was also my matron of honor, used to make these for me sometimes when we would have lunch at her home. She did not use cornmeal - or sugar - but they were still outstanding.
How I miss her since she has gone to her reward!
Thanks for watching
Your Mom and Grandma must have known my Mom and Grandma!!
They fixed the fried green tomatoes and fried chicken on Saturday afternoon! We ate supper under the oak trees and enjoyed the Summer season and the fresh from the garden veggies!
Brings back so many memories!
Have a safe and Happy 4th to you and Shane!
Thanks so much
Years ago I heard of fried green tomatoes. I picked some from the garden. Fried them, too sour did not like them. Tried them in a restaurant a couple times, too sour did not like them. Ordered some in a restaurant in Memphis Tennessee they were delicious. Always wandered what they done deferent. Came across your video and found out the whole secret is the sugar. They are really good. Thank you Cowboy Kent. My tomato crop was a bust this year in NW Oklahoma. Now it is October my plants are loaded with green tomatoes.
That sure looks delicious! Fried green tomatoes are something that never gets old. There are so many different seasonings you can add that will change the flavor. Keep up the great work. Happy 4th of July to you guys too. Stay safe out there.
Thanks so much
Kent....I love ya man!!!! But from an old boy who hails from Mississippi...and original kin from Louisiana....here in Missouri we just can't fathom the sugar. But hey...each to his own. You still are a kick butt cook!!! Keep the awesome videos coming!!!! AIEEEEEEE!!
John Wade well he said you could leave out the sugar if you want
Thanks John
Thanks Tina
Good eating they are Carolyn
As an Alabama country girl I can’t abide sugar on my fried green tomatoes cornbread or biscuits. But my sister in Tennessee puts sugar in everything. To each his own. They do look good. Have you ever tried cubing the green tomatoes and mixing okra and potatoes fried them together like pan fried potatoes with a little onion. It’ll make you want to slap your Mama!
Texas born , Texas raised , fried anything is good .... you can fry shoelaces and with the right spices , nothing will be left ...Great video Mr Rollins ...one of my favorite dishes
Thanks Aaron
Independence Day in the USA. Beautiful scenery. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching
As a southerner born and raised i say Well Done !
Thanks
I was seeing eye to eye with you till you hit them with the sugar.
I remember when I was a kid my great grandma in Dayton Ohio had a garden in her backyard and we would pick the green tomatoes to make this. Thank you for the recipe.
Thank you Drew for watching
It all came back to me- my father use to fry up green tomatoes and only me and dad would eat them- sister and mom wouldn’t have nothing to do with them- I guess I’m in the hunt for green tomatoes- they were terrific!!- something like your videos!!
Thank u sir...my tomatoes r coming in and man was my mayo and tomato sandwich...hey to u all and thank u...my son is in the army and did 3 tours of Iraq and my dad is a WWII, Korea, and Vietnam vet...and I fly old glory everyday it’s sunny ☀️! Bless y’all!
Thanks Mike and tell your son thanks for his service
We thank you, Kent and Shannon Rollins. Dad was a Navy Corpsman attached to the Marines, oldest brother was in the army, next oldest brother was in the Navy, next oldest brother was in the Air Force and I was Coast Guard. We have all the bases covered with this family.
Thanks Patman and we appreciate yalls service
Yep.I like them with a little red too.Never tried sugar tho.
Cant wait till I get them every year grew up on them
Love seeing Old Glory waving from the teepee. Oh, and fried green 'maters. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Richard
I love fried green tomatoes. My mom was from Kentucky and she always put sugar on ours. My whole family likes them this way. I canned some sliced green tomatoes. You put the slices in a wide mouth pint jar, 1 teaspoon salt. Cover with boiling water and put the jar lid on. Done. Don’t process. I’m fixing some today that are 2 years old. Just a little soft but not bad. Mouths watering just thinking about it. God bless you, Shannon, Beag n Duke.
Sounds like the PERFECT way to make this recipe. Always a treat, and I'll be making some today for the 4th. Hope you and yours have a great holiday.
Hope you enjoy and have a great 4th
Those looked amazing! Mouth is still watering. Just ordered your cookbook and seasonings! Cannot wait to try them all out.
Thanks so much Tony and we hope you enjoy
Nicely done. Things tend to get done if you cook them long enough. A big thanks for remembering our service men and women on the 4th. Bless you both. See you on the trail. Mike and Rosie, Shelton, WA
Thank you both so much and God Bless y'all as well
My maters are just about ready for a try. I can’t wait, by Sunday I should have a couple ready. God bless our men and women who defend this country. And God bless you and Shannon for keeping a great attitude and making this world a better place one good tip and/or recipe at a time!
Thanks so much DJ

That's a good size garden your neighbors got there Kent, coming close to a truck patch ! 😊 That be a good neighbor to have for sure !
One thing about living in southern Arizona, I can have good vine ripe tomatoes all winter long, and lots of green ones too ! Some good eating there !
Done got hot enough now that they're burning up so better gather all the green ones and fry some up !
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍 👍
P. S.
Old Glory flying in the background sure looks great, thanks ! 😊
Thanks Ken and we hope you and yours have a great 4th of July
Cowboy Kent Rollins

Thanks to you and them and God bless us all
I love the Banjo tunes ....... and I LOVE FRIED GREEN MATERS ALSO..... GOD BLESS YOU AND SHAN,.,,,,
Thanks and Go bless you as well
I like mine sliced paper thin and just lightly dredged with flower and then fried until crisp. They're almost like chips and make a great sandwich with a bit of mayo. I also like to give my zuck's the same treatment.
Nothing better than fried green tomato BLT's.
Never thought about fried green mater's on a BLT. Gotta try it.
I would love to try that but there's no green tomatoes in washington and I love them
Wait, wut?!
That's... that's... brilliant.
You win the internet today. 🍺
Gonna have to try that sometime.
Wow Cowboy Kent you outdid yourself! This is the best looking platter of fried Maters i ever seen! Thank you so much! I wanna try this recipe..GOD bless you & Your precious wife I'm a country girl lives in city now but raised where the country cooking was so good..A Mississippi girl!

Thank you for showing us how to cook better and giving us a good watch
Our pleasure Corbin
God bless your wonderful sentiments Kent. You're a good American.
Thanks Jammer I support our troops and all who serve our country
Thanks for the video. I live in New England so I didn't grow up having these however I have made them a couple times and they were too tart for my liking. Thanks for the tips on using tomatoes with some color and sprinkling with sugar. I will give these another try as the tomatoes in my garden should be ready soon. Happy 4th to you as well.
Thanks Judy and God Bless America
Amen to that Kent, God Bles our Military personnel. Fried Green Tomatoes are the South. I love them. I love this recipe as well.
Thanks so much
I had plenty of fried tomatoes growing up in California and Illinois. My Grandmother from Wisconsin would make them before the frost hit. My Mom was from Oklahoma...go figure. Don't claim them for the south. Oklahoma is south, it's Midwest, it's west...….it has a border with Colorado, just across the Cimarron river. I live in the deep south, just 3 miles south of the Alabama border and ya fried tomatoes in the summer is a staple, but, to claim them for just the south is not correct and borders on bragging.
I do about the same, but I sprinkle a little brown sugar on top after they are out of the pan. Delish !! Y'all have a good one.
Fried green tomatoes my grandmother would make those. Oh so good.
It is about to be that time of year again, Thank you for watching
"THat mater has a brand new skin on it." Ha! Love it.
Happy Independence Day and I love the teepees. 🎆 🎇 🇺🇸
Thanks Pamela
That was SWEET! Thank you Kent & Shannon!
Thanks Peggy for watching
Thumbs up from somewhere in West Africa. Happy Independence Day!
Thanks so much for taking time to watch
Wow - that Red Dead Redemption 2 cooking mission looks great!
Best way to eat a tomato!!! Never tried the sugar step but I'll give it a go next time I fry up some of them green maters. My wife has told me to keep watching your videos too. She said I've learned a lot from you. Cant wait for the next video!
Thanks Stephen
Never have really liked fried green tomatoes , but definitely going to have to try them. Thanks Kent
Hope you enjoy Clay
Appreciate you flying those beautiful colors in yer camp, Kent! I think I'll start doin the same at deer camp.
We are honored to do so, thanks for watching
I guess I'm an old southern woman then. Sugar doesn't go in fried green tomatoes *or* cornbread. Mississippi talking, here.
Sapo Amen!
I'm actually an old southern man, but my mama raised me right. Respect everyone, and don't put sugar in it!
Sapo I'm from California but I was raised in a dust bowl family and my southern granny would have spit fire if she saw sugar put on those tomatoes. She taught us to use cornmeal and fry them in bacon grease. She was also a firm believer that sugar in cornbread was cake not cornbread!
Damned straight, girl. Thanks for that, very much. Not too many people have any sympathy for southerners and their culture these days, it seems.
That is a fact. No sugar on pickled corn, either.
I HATE tomatoes! RED ones that is! but I LOVE fried green tomatoes!!! Can't get enough of them in the summer! My mom gets on to me for picking all her green tomatoes!! LOL She says she aint gonna have any ripe ones to can if I keep pickin the green ones!
Alicia Davidson LMAO! My dad tells me the EXACT same thing word for word!
Thanks Alicia
try some fried red tomatoes but still firm. Not so tart and you don't have to ruin the fried green tomatoes with sugar. I guess Cowboy Kent was raised on the sissy side of the prairie.
I felt the same way when I was your age. Loved it when mom fried green tomatoes, but hated red tomatoes. I put out my first garden that was 100 percent mine when I was about 14. I tried one of the ripe ones with salt and loved it. Maybe it was different because I'd been nurturing these plants since spring. Whatever it was I've been hooked since. Spent a lot of time when I was younger with a salt shaker and pocket knife eating off the vine.
Mr. Rollins you sir are a true American! I always feel honored watching you cook... Semper Fi
Now you have made me want to try a "fried green mater." Looks like a great recipe.
They are so good, Thanks for watching my friend
does this mean that you are gonna bake us a green tomato pie next? fried green tomatoes no sugar for this iowa boy and if ya can in bacon grease. mmmm mmm yummy
ken strampe, I'm from Iowa also, I don't think I would like the sugar either. I like them more green too.
Sounds good Ken
Cowboy up, BUT OUT ON ON MY TRAILS IN AZ WE JUST DON'T FIND MATERS GROWING WILD,, SO WE COOK UP SOME GREEN CACTUS. YUMMY
KNOCK OFF THOSE THORNS IN THE FIRE FIRST FOLKS, YEAH I'M SERIOUS,
IT'S THE COWBOY WAY ✝️🇺🇲

My great-grand-father was a cook on cattle drives from St. Louis, Missouri and I have his cast iron skillet from those drives. I use it every day.
We went to a family get together in KY from TX several years ago. A neighbor across the street from were, had quit harvesting his tomatoes. He had about 50 green tomatoes left and I ask if I could pick them. He let me and we had fried green tomatoes for a few weeks after we got back to Texas. That is some really good eats.
That they are, thanks for watching
Mm Mm Yummy Nom Nom Nummy goodness I love them Fried Matters oh yeah Drooling now Goodness
Thanks so much
Kent, I'm sorry to tell you that them there "Cackleberries" are actually Hen-Bullets! The rooster's got nuthin' to do with 'em! 🤣
hasn't he? :) Even little bit?
Not unless they're fertilized 🙂
Love fresh tomatoes and never had much desire to fry them green. This looks like a recipe worth trying. Good Kent.
Good eating they are,Thanks my friend for watching
love fried green tomatoes now I want some !
love from Alabama 🇺🇸
If God can forgive you for that sugar I can too, but that don't mean I like it!
Go bright green or go home!
I was born and raised in GA but moved to Colo, the one thing I miss is FGT, people out here don't know what they're missing but I've never heard of putting sugar on them, if I ever get some I'm trying your recipe, your videos are awesome, I've told myself that I have to get your book, thanks Kent and God bless you and your wife
Thanks and God bless you as well
I really liked the banjo pickin' and your verbal salute to our Soldiers and our Flag. Keep up the great videos!!
Thanks Joseph
Wooooo - weeeee - thet thar sho looks plum fittnin - on another subject thanks for those prayers for my multiple myeloma - I'm doing well and getting better - we serve a mighty Jehovah God, the master Physician- I enjoy cooking and hope and pray to meet you and Shannon one day - I would consider it an honor and privilege - well - here's to more answers to hopes and prayers - Robert Wayne Frazier
Thanks Bob
My Mom was from Oklahoma, but I grew up in California and Illinois. I'm an old man now but in my life I have been to every state except a hand full of very north New England states. I have traveled a lot in my working years, and I did not stop traveling after I retired. I have been to at least a thousand cafes and restaurants all across the country. I like stopping at the little podunk Mom and Pop places and not the big chains. A lot of folks might get mad at me for saying this but I don't care. The best ole homegrown down home food I have ever had was in Oklahoma. Those folks can cook now...man I mean it, and consistently too. Fried chicken, rabbit, catfish, all game you can imagine( and some you can't :) etc. Okra all styles, potatoes all styles, all greens and beans, turnips and ham hocks, biscuits all styles, roast turkey and bacon, man you name it....gravy, gravy, gravy :) They even have a lot of TexMex and Itallian food that is outstanding. If I died and had the choice of going to food heaven, but only in the U.S. it would be Oklahoma.
Thanks so much for watching
Just made these for lunch, didn't have the mesquite seasoning so improvised with Ancho chili powder and everyone is absolutely loving them. Now to order $100 worth of seasonings lol.
Whoooo makes me hongry!! Thanks to all service men and women. God Bless y’all!
Thanks Jason
Another recipe to tryout and share with the family. Thank you Mr. Kent.
Our pleasure
Love Fried Green Mators !!! Thank you !!!
Thanks Sherry for watching
It’s people like you who are a true representation of what patriotism is...God bless you and your family. See ya down the trail!!
Thanks and God Bless you as well
I like Fried Green Tomatoes! Love the banjo pickin too!
Hi Kent and Shannon... I fried up some green tomatoes this morning. I do it almost the same as you do. You are correct to wait until the maters have some color. They aren't as tart then. I don't put any sugar on them, but will try it the next time, probably this week. Thanks for sharing another good recipe.
Thank you for watching James and they are some fine dining
Them look so easy to do and tasty😃eating them with my eyes right now!! 🪕🪕🪕🪕
another great one. always enjoy cooking outdoors. tastes better. keep'em coming..................
Thanks Mel
Love me some fried green tomatoes, as well,as zucchini, pickles,all delicious fried up, a southern staple food. If I'd ever been on a cattle drive, I would of enjoyed your company,knowledge, and great cooking.
