Ingredients:
- 4 green tomatoes, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

In a shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and paprika
Mix well
Dip each green tomato slice into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off
Coat the tomato slice in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the breadcrumbs onto both sides to adhere
Place the coated tomato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching
You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer
Lightly spray the tomato slices with cooking spray to help them crisp up
Air fry the tomatoes at 375F 190C for 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy
While the tomatoes are cooking, prepare the dipping sauce by combining the mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, and ranch dressing in a small bowl
Mix until well combined
Once the tomatoes are done, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool slightly
Serve the oven-fried green tomatoes hot with the sriracha-ranch dipping sauce on the side
