- 3 cloves garlic
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup tahini (60 g)
- 1 tsp sea salt
- Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Edamame: Cook the shelled edamame according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain them well and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process and cool them down.
- Blend Ingredients: Add the cooled edamame to a high-speed blender or food processor along with garlic, lemon juice, tahini, sea salt, and black pepper. Start blending on low speed.
- Process to Smooth: Gradually increase the blender speed, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides to ensure an even blend. Continue until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Serve or Store: Enjoy the edamame hummus immediately as a dip or spread, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days for later use.

- If the hummus is too thick, add a small amount of water or olive oil to reach your desired consistency.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cumin or smoked paprika.
- This hummus pairs well with fresh vegetables, crackers, or as a sandwich spread.
