Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 39kcal
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cups frozen shelled edamame green soybeans
- 1 tablespoon tahini crushed sesame seeds
- 1/4 cup veggie broth or water
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 pinch of salt adjust to taste preference
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika for garnish at the end optional
Instructions
- To defrost edamame beans, place them in a colander and run very warm water over them. It takes only a couple of minutes, and the beans are ready to be used.
- Next, place all the ingredients–beans, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt, onion & garlic powder, water, and herbs–in a food processor or blender. Save the smoked paprika for topping at the end.
- Process the ingredients for about 1-2 minutes, pausing to scrape down the sides of the container as needed. Blend until the mixture is blended well and to the consistency desired. If needed, add more veggie broth 1 tablespoon at a time to thin out.
- Taste and, if needed, add a little extra salt to get that perfect flavor. Serve as a dip with carrot and celery sticks, and slices of cucumber. Other great serving options are on a sandwich or crusty bread. If you haven't tried our hummus veggie sandwich, that needs to change right now!

Notes
Tips for making hummus
- Texture: To achieve a creamy texture in oil-free edamame hummus, blend the ingredients in a high-speed food processor and gradually add water until you reach the desired consistency. Using high-quality tahini also helps enhance creaminess.
- Tahini: I don't recommend leaving out the tahini in this particular recipe because I feel it needs the added flavor. We have other oil-free hummus recipes on this site like this basic garlic vegan hummus and our Italian oil-free hummus that you might try.
- Storage: This hummus lasts approximately 7-10 days in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator. Hummus even freezes well in an airtight container for up to 6-8 months. It's best to freeze hummus in small portions to make defrosting quicker and to have handy small amounts to eat in one sitting.
