Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Place wire racks in rimmed baking sheets.
Place flour, eggs, and cornflakes in three separate shallow dishes and season each with salt and pepper.
Stir cayenne into flour mixture.
Coat each tomato slice first in flour, then eggs, then cornflakes, pressing lightly to adhere.
Arrange tomatoes in a single layer on racks and bake until deep golden brown, about 15 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through.
Serve with lemon wedges or ranch dressing.
Cook's Note:
Firm, tangy green tomatoes are really just underripe regular tomatoes, which soften when cooked. They're the traditional choice for a crisp coating, but we also used red and yellow ones in this recipe for a colorful mix.
