This is an old recipe from the blog that has been updated to make it even better!

Edamame hummus is a dip that is just as delicious as it is pretty. Rather than making hummus with chickpeas, try making it with edamame beans instead!

The edamame gives the hummus a mild but unique flavour and is a nice little twist from the classic chickpea dip.

Why you’ll love this recipe

  • You can whip up a batch of this edamame hummus and put together a platter in less than 30 minutes.
  • This hummus recipe is healthy, vegan and gluten-free.
  • Edamame hummus makes a perfect appetizer you can put together last minute if you have any guests coming over.
  • This recipe is great for food prep and can be stored in the fridge for a week and enjoyed whenever you like!

Edamame hummus health benefits

Edamame has fewer calories and more protein, vitamins and minerals than normal soybeans making it a very healthy addition to anything.

Considering this dip doesn’t have much else other than some oil and seasonings, there isn’t anything else to add anything unhealthy.

How to make edamame hummus

Steam the edamame for 2-3 minutes, then add them to a food processor with the rest of the ingredients.

Tips for making this recipe perfectly

  • Use shelled edamame so you don’t have to start removing all the edamame beans from their pods. I also always recommend buying organic when it comes to soy products.
  • Use very cold water in this recipe. This will help make a smooth and creamy hummus.
  • Scrape down the sides of your food processor every minute or so while pureeing to make sure everything gets well incorporated.
  • Taste the hummus as your making it and adjust seasoning as needed if it needs a little more herbs, salt etc.
  • Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to a week.

Description

Enjoy this edamame hummus variation for a healthy snack or appetizer!


Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups shelled edamame
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/3 cup tahini
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 big handful cilantro

Instructions

  1. If you are using frozen edamame, boil them in a medium pot for 3-4 minutes. Strain and set aside.
  2. In your food processor, add your edamame, water, tahini, olive oil, and sesame oil and puree for 2 minutes.
  3. Next add the lemon juice, garlic, cumin, salt, pepper, and cilantro and puree again for 4-5 minutes. (The trick to getting extra creamy hummus to to puree it for a while!)
  4. Adjust taste if you like more salt or herbs.
  5. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks

Notes

Use shelled edamame so you don’t have to start removing all the edamame beans from their pods. I also always recommend buying organic when it comes to soy products.

Use very cold water in this recipe. This will help make a smooth and creamy hummus.

Scrape down the sides of your food processor every minute or so while pureeing to make sure everything gets well incorporated.

    Great recipe! I have been making my own hummus recently; some days it’s just a lot easier than going to the store, and gives us complete control over what ingredients are in there. We had tried a store-bought edamame hummus that we liked, and it was time to create our own home-grown version. This recipe is spot on!
