1/4 teaspoon grated lime zest
2 tablespoons lime juice

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 large egg whites, lightly beaten
3/4 cup cornmeal
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 medium green tomatoes

2. Cut each tomato crosswise into 4 slices. Lightly coat each slice in flour; shake off excess. Dip in egg whites, then in cornmeal mixture.
3. In batches, place tomatoes on greased tray in air-fryer basket; spritz with cooking spray. Cook until golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Turn; spritz with cooking spray. Cook until golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes longer.
