These delightful fritters are a fun crowd-pleasing snack or appetizer that are a lot easier to make than you might think. Sweet red peppers, mushrooms, onions, and chives are finely chopped up (a food processor makes this step super fast), then stirred into the buttermilk batter. Simply drop them into a greased skillet and let them cook until they're nicely golden brown, which should take less than 10 minutes total. That's all it takes! And for a picture-perfect presentation, you can top these vegetable fritters with salsa or fat-free sour cream, then sprinkle with more minced chives right before serving.

Ingredients

All-purpose flour

1 cup(s)

Baking powder

½ tsp

Baking soda

¼ tsp

Sugar

1 tsp

Egg

1 large egg(s), beaten

1% low fat buttermilk

½ cup(s)

Red bell pepper

1 medium, cored, seeded and quartered

Mushrooms

6 medium, trimmed and coarsely chopped

Onion

1 small, trimmed and quartered

Chives

1 Tbsp, minced

Egg whites

2 large, beaten until stiff

Table salt

⅛ tsp, or to taste

Black pepper

⅛ tsp, or to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda and sugar.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together egg and buttermilk. Stir into flour mixture.
  3. By hand or in a food processor, mince together pepper, mushrooms, onion and chives; add to flour mixture. Gently fold in egg whites. Season to taste.
  4. Warm a large, nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Drop fritters by heaping tablespoons onto skillet, allowing an inch between fritters. Cook 3 to 5 minutes on one side, flip and cook until cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes more. Yields about 5 fritters per serving.
