Fried green tomatoes are a classic Southern dish that has been enjoyed for generations. They're typically made with unripe green tomatoes that are sliced and coated in a breading of flour and cornmeal, then fried until golden brown and crispy. While they're delicious, they're also not exactly low in carbs. That's where this keto-friendly version comes in. It uses a breading of almond flour, Parmesan cheese, and pork rinds instead of flour and cornmeal, making it a much lower-carb option that's just as delicious as the traditional version.
