Edamame Hummus
Edamame hummus is a delicious sandwich spread or appetizer dip for crackers, pita or vegetables. When you make your hummus at home, it is fresh without preservatives, and you control the amount of fat you add. It's so easy!

Calories: 98kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound shelled edamame
- 2 Tablespoons Tahini or use aquafaba for a tahini-free hummus
- ½ cup Water
- ¼ cup Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons Cumin +¼ teaspoon for garnish
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
GARNISH
- A few mame beans separated prior to blending Edamame
- 1 Tablespoon harissa or chopped roasted red peppers
Instructions
- Edamame has pods inside; mame is already shelled. I bought shelled Edamame called Mame to save myself some time. Either will work, but keep in mind, if you buy edamame, you will need to shell it prior to processing.
COOK THE EDAMAME
- My frozen bag required microwaving for 5 minutes on high. Follow directions on the particular bag you purchased.
- Allow cooling. If you are in a hurry, put it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
PROCESS ALL INGREDIENTS IN A FOOD PROCESSOR
- I used the small bowl for my food processor.
- Place cooked, cooled Mame into the food processor with all the ingredients.
- If you want to use Mame for the garnish, take a few beans out prior to blending the rest.
- Blend until smooth.
- Place in a dish.
- Sprinkle with additional cumin.
- Add a Tablespoon of harissa and Mame pods if you reserved some for garnish.
- Or, for a less spicy garnish, add chopped roasted red peppers.
Notes
Garnish
- A few mame beans separated prior to blending edamame
- Harissa or chopped roasted red peppers
- A simple touch of fresh chopped green onions, chives, parsley, rosemary, or dill is another brilliant way to add more flavor to your hummus.
- As a garnish, I added Harissa. However, harissa is a little spicy, so if you don't like it, roasted red peppers supply the same vibrant color without the spice.
