Want a spin on the traditional hummus? Try this edamame hummus recipe ASAP! It has the same garlicky, delicious flavors you love with a bonus of 8 grams of protein per serving.
Let’s grab our favorite dipping snacks and make a batch of this edamame hummus- quick!
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 211 calories, 7 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:
- Prep the edamame
Steam the edamame according to package directions. - 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. - Serve
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and top with freshly chopped parsley if using.
You can also watch how to make this recipe in the video below:
What Goes with Edamame Hummus
This edamame hummus tastes great with anything you’d serve with regular hummus! Enjoy it with sliced fresh vegetables, crackers, or pita bread for a substantial and healthy snack. You can also use it in place of mayonnaise in healthy wraps and sandwiches.

Laurie says
Thank you for this recipe! I love edamame and hummus and I can’t wait to make this for my kiddos! Right now, I love eating cheese with crackers – nothing fancy, something like Baby Bel or Laughing Cow cheese. My little ones have started liking cheese and crackers as a snack too!

Great recipe! Thank you for sharing. Honestly… our favorite dip for the crackers is just a plain old tried and true peanut butter and honey mix or peanut butter and jelly mix depending on the cracker. my son is autistic and is very particular so we really kinda get to stick to the familiar dips. i do love that i buy healthy crackers!!! 🙂
Cari says
We haven’t tried these crackers yet, but can’t wait to do so. We love pairing crackers with hummus, babaganouj, or peanut butter!

hot pepper cheese & salami

I would pair Bitsy’s Maple Carrot crisp crackers with cream cheese whipped with some homemade lemon curd or homemade raspberry puree for a sweeter snack or dessert. My kids love my homemade cream cheese whips with their vibrant colors! If I’m feeling fancy, I drizzle in the lemon curd or raspberry puree to create an exciting swirled whipped cream cheese! We have been away from the US for a few years and will be visiting this summer — Target is definitely on my list of places to shop at! Thanks for the opportunity and can’t wait to visit a Target and buy more Bitsy’s products!

Fresh guacamole is my favorite dip with any crackers! My kids prefer hummus though.
Marie says
I like to make my own hummus – I used the very simple recipe on the Vitamix site (using sesame seeds instead of tahini – one less thing to store in the fridge) and after making it a few times I played around with and found that I could replace one can of the chickpeas with a can of artichokes! More veggies!
Sara says
Hummus and guacamole, of course. Or just on their own. My 4year old and I can go through a box in one sitting!
Christi says
I bet these crackers would go great with any of the laughing cow cheese spreads.

serah says
Cheese or hummus on crackers
Claire says
I love a good garlicy hummus
Julia says
For an easy dip I like to grab a handful of fresh herbs from the garden- usually parsley and dill- then chop then and mix them into a bowl of Greek yogurt. Sprinkle in some garlic powder, S&P and that’s it! It’s even better after it sits for an hour. Great with Bitsy’s crackers.

Pattie in Vermont says
Our go-to dip is the classic one pint sour cream plus one packet dried onion soup mix stirred together then refrigerated for an hour before eating. A health nightmare but only used at Thanksgiving and Christmas so it probably won’t do us in. This edamame dip looks a winner. Cannot wait to try it this weekend at a picnic at the Hill Cumorah Pageant! Thanks for creating and sharing it with us.
