Using Them Up!

Here is another option for green tomatoes...if you have any left. Now, if you have ever had green tomatoes before, you know that they are very different from the ripened red ones. To me, it seems that they have a tang to them. I personally love them. My father-in-law did not want to let them freeze on the vine so he picked everything he could before the first freeze. They were on the smaller side, so I did not feel like they would be the best for my oven fried green tomatoes. I did not know of any other way to prepare them, so I decided...let's throw them in the oven and see what happens. To my surprise, they were incredible. The flavor definitely lends itself to many options. You could even give it a Mexican kick with peppers and cumin. It would be great pureed as a dip or a sauce for enchiladas. You get the idea...I thought they were great over an omelet!

Oven Roasted Green Tomatoes

1 cup diced green tomatoes
1cup large diced sweet onion
salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a baking dish with cooking spray.

Place everything in the prepared pan and toss around to coat with cooking spray, salt and pepper. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes. Serve as you like!
