I've posted this before on the other site but I've been making my "fried" green tomatoes the same way as I learned to do for squash. A friend of mine has a grandmother with heart problems so they were forced to find some healthy alternatives since fried squash and tomatoes were eaten OFTEN throughout the summer. Much the same as the baked recipe above (which sounds excellent) and very easy. I preheat the oven to 425 or so. Spray a pan with nonstick stuff, place your sliced veggies. Salt, pepper, and sprinkle cornmeal over. Sometimes I put parm cheese or other seasonings for variety. Sometimes some sweet onion rings in with that too. Drizzle olive oil all over, not too much. Bake a little while, turn and bake a little while longer. I suspect they aren't as crunchy as true fried but if you eat them as often as I do it's supposed to be a healthier alternative.
