Edamame Hummus
Edamame hummus is what happens when chickpeas step aside and let soybeans have a turn. It’s bright green, packed with protein, and has a fresher, lighter flavor than traditional hummus. Five minutes in a food processor and you’ve got a snack that looks as good as it tastes.

Edamame Hummus
Ingredients
- 2 cups shelled edamame (frozen, thawed)
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil + more for drizzle
- 2-3 tablespoons water
- Salt to taste
- Toppings: sesame seeds, chili flakes, olive oil drizzle
- Pita chips, vegetables, or crackers for serving
Instructions
- Add edamame, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and salt to a food processor.
- Blend until smooth, scraping down sides as needed. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust salt and lemon.
- Transfer to a serving bowl. Create a swirl with the back of a spoon.
- Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with sesame seeds and chili flakes. Serve with pita chips and vegetables.
Recipe Tips
- Use frozen shelled edamame — just thaw under warm water for 2 minutes.
- The texture should be smooth and creamy, not gritty. Blend longer if needed.
- Add a handful of fresh cilantro or mint for an herby variation.
- This keeps 5 days in the fridge — the flavor actually improves overnight.
