GREEN TOMATO SPIRALS



Green Tomato Spirals image

These don't have to be cut into spirals; just thinly slice the green tomatoes instead. (I have a gadget that cuts potatoes, onions, etc into long spirals, like curly fries, and wondered how it would do with a green tomato. It did great!). These are best eaten right after frying as they tend to lose their crispiness the longer they sit. I serve them with ranch dressing.
