Ingredients
- 4 large green tomatoes
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika

- 1 large egg beaten
- 2/3 cup arrowroot powder
- 4 ounces sugar-free bacon chopped
- sea salt
- black pepper
For the Remoulade
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise homemade or Paleo-friendly
- 2 teaspoons capers
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Mix all the remoulade ingredients together in a small bowl until well blended. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Cut the tomatoes into 1/4 inch thick slices and season both sides with salt and pepper. Allow the tomatoes to to sit for a few minutes to soften.
