Place flour into a shallow dish. Beat together buttermilk and eggs in a second shallow dish. Mix together bread crumbs, cornmeal, garlic powder, and paprika in a third dish.

Dredge tomato slices in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in egg mixture, then press both sides into cornmeal mixture.

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Brush the fryer basket with olive oil.
