Prepare the Tomatoes
Wash the green tomatoes and slice them into 1/2-inch thick slices. Sprinkle salt on both sides of the slices and let them sit for about 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.

Fry the Tomatoes
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the breaded tomato slices in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
