Oven-Fried Green Tomatoes With White BBQ Sauce (Gluten-free & Vegan)

I love Southern-food, but my stomach can’t handle grease or gluten. So I made these Paleo Oven-Fried Green Tomatoes with all the flavor, but none of the tummy upset. I am obsessed! They are great for breakfast, as a sandwich, on a BLT or a burger, or just dipped in sauce in this Southern-Style White BBQ Sauce.

This Southern-Style White BBQ sauce, also know as Alabama White Barbecue Sauce, is creamy and tangy with a touch of spice, and traditionally has mayo, mustard, vinegar, and horseradish. I can’t have horseradish sauce, because it has dairy and eggs, so I used horseradish mustard instead and it worked just fine! I found a gluten-free one from my local grocery store here in St. Louis, Schnucks. I used Vegan Hellman’s Mayo, but you can use paleo mayo to meet your dietary  needs; I’m allergic to eggs, so it’s not an option for me.

I love the flavor combinations of this sandwich with Oven-Fried Green Tomatoes, Schar gluten-free hamburger buns (they are cheapest at Walmart), a little red onion, avocado, arugula and the white BBQ sauce.

These Paleo Oven-fried Green Tomatoes are a healthier option to the traditional fried ones. Dip them in the Southern-style White BBQ Sauce to add a tangy zip.

Tips: (1) It’s a good idea to slice the green tomatoes a little thinner so that they cook through and are not so bitter. (2) You can buy pre-made almond meal, I got it at Trader Joe’s, or you can just put them in a food processor to make it. (3) If your tomatoes are a little thicker, they will need to cook longer.
