Preheat oven 425 degrees. Prepare a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and set aside.
Prepare the bread crumbs:
Add all ingredients for the breadcrumbs to a small mixing bowl and stir until well combined. Adjust seasonings to your preference.
Divide the mixture in half and separate it into two small mixing bowls. Set aside.
Prepare the tomatoes:
Slice the tomatoes in medium thickness (not too thin, not too thick). You should be able to get 4 slices per each small tomato. Set aside.
Prepare an assembly line:
Start an assembly line in the following order, from left to right:
1. Plate with sliced green tomatoes
2. Small bowl with almond milk
3. Small bowl with ½ the bread crumb mixture
4. Prepared cookie sheet lined with parchment paper
Assembly:
Dip each tomato slice into the bowl of almond milk, making sure both sides are completely covered.
Next, toss the tomato slice into the bowl of bread crumbs, again, making sure both sides are completely covered.
Transfer the coated green tomatoes onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are spread out evenly and not overlapping.
Repeat steps 1-3 for the remaining tomatoes.
When you run out of breadcrumbs in the first bowl, begin using the second bowl of fresh breadcrumbs. Using a second bowl will ensure you don't have soggy breadcrumbs.
Bake at 425 degrees for approximately 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove the cookie sheet from the oven, carefully flip the tomatoes slices over and place the pan back in the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the backside is golden brown.
Optional: Garnish with chopped parsley and/or serve with your favorite gluten-free vegan dip or dressing.
Best when served hot from the oven.
