For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the flour mixture. If you don't have green tomatoes, you can use slightly under-ripe red tomatoes, but the flavor will be different. Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the tomatoes; work in batches to ensure even browning. Serve with a creamy dipping sauce like remoulade, ranch, or a spicy mayo.
