If you don’t know, edamame are scrumptious little devils. I usually get the privilege to eat them at sushi restaurants. They are usually steamed and sprinkled with kosher salt. I could seriously eat them all day. And as good as they are on their own, they are also wonderful in this Asian twist on traditional hummus with edamame, garlic, lemon juice, tahini and oil.
You can usually find edamame in the frozen vegetable section at the grocery store. They are sold in their pods or shelled. When I am simply eating them as a snack I prefer to eat the pods but when I want to add them to things, like this hummus, I really to recommend buying the shelled variety. It makes things a whole lot easier.

I am SOOOO excited to hear that someone else eats the pods….. people look at me like I’m crazy because I truly LOVE the salty goodness of those pods!
I found a tub of this at a Trader Joe’s but it’s a bit of a drive to get to. I LOVED it!!! I wish I could eat it everydayyyyyyy!
What a great twist, I love this! I’ve been making hummus a lot lately for snacks at work, AND I already have frozen edamame for the taking in my freezer. Will have to give this one a shot this weekend- thanks!
This is absolutely killer!!!
Great idea. Looks delishious and filling. That’s definitely something I could grow addicted to. I guess you could call this an international fusion dish :-) Maybe I’ll try this with black sesame paste instead of tahini, too.
Wow, what a great recipe! I heard edamame is one of the healthiest things you can eat. This looks fabulous.
Edamame and hummus, two of my favorite things! Great recipe idea, thanks! I work with Seapoint Farms, we manufacture edamame in the United States and love coming across recipes like this!
Interesting recipe! Never thought of edamame hummus! I love eating edamame as a snack though!
I love it! Especially because I have all the ingredients in my pantry. Thank you!
Great idea. Looks delicious!
