Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the hemp seeds, rolled oats, eggs, chopped green onions, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. To test if the oil is hot enough, drop a small amount of the fritter mixture into the pan; it should sizzle immediately.
- Using your hands, form the mixture into small patties, approximately 2-3 inches in diameter, and carefully place them in the skillet. Be sure not to overcrowd the skillet; you may need to cook in batches.
- Cook each fritter for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
- While the fritters are cooking, prepare the dipping sauce by mixing the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and chopped dill in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the fritters warm, accompanied by the refreshing dill yogurt dipping sauce on the side.
Tips
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to the fritter mixture.
- Feel free to experiment with other herbs such as parsley or cilantro for a different flavor profile.
- These fritters can be enjoyed on their own or served as a topping for salads or grain bowls.
