What is Edamame Hummus

Edamame hummus is a yummy variation of my classic hummus recipe made with steamed soybeans instead of chickpeas. It has the same creamy texture we love but a richer flavor thanks to the combination of tahini, fresh garlic, and soy sauce. 

How Many Calories Are in this Edamame Dip

Each ¼ cup serving of edamame dip has 212 calories, 9 grams of protein, 17 grams of healthy fats, and only 4 grams of net carbs.

This is a terrific nutritional profile; plus, edamame is considered a complete protein because it provides all of the essential amino acids our bodies need but can’t produce.

Edamame Hummus Ingredients

Here’s everything you need to make a batch of the best edamame hummus: 

  • shelled edamame: you can find these in the frozen section of your local grocery store. 
  • tahini: adds depth of flavor and makes great hummus 
  • water: gives it a smoother consistency. 
  • lemon juice: brightens the flavor. 
  • soy sauce: just a dash or two helps bring out the edamame flavor. 
  • garlic: fragrant and makes any hummus taste better. 
  • salt: enhances the other flavors. 
  • cumin: adds smokiness. 
  • ground coriander: dried and ground cilantro leaves- a little pinch goes a long way. 
  • olive oil: adds richness and helps the ingredients blend. 
  • flat-leaf parsley: just a sprinkle of fresh parsley for garnish.

How to Make Edamame Hummus

Making edamame hummus is super easy since everything gets blended in a high-speed blender or food processor until it reaches creamy perfection. Here’s how to make it: 

  1. Prep the edamame
    Steam the edamame according to package directions. 
  2. Purée
    Combine the edamame, tahini, water, lemon juice, soy sauce, garlic, and spices in the food processor or blender. While processing, drizzle in the olive oil, allowing the mixture to fully combine. 
  3. Serve
    Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and top with freshly chopped parsley if using.
