Ingredients (~8 servings)
- 2 1/4 cups frozen shelled edamame, thawed (~15 oz)
- 1 1/2 medium ripe avocados (~12 oz)
- 3 cloves garlic
- Zest and juice of 1 1/2 large lemons (~1/4 cup fresh lemon juice)
- 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 3/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 3/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 cup + 1 Tbsp finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Pita chips and veggies for serving
Thaw the Edamame if Frozen
If your edamame is frozen, dump it in a bowl and cover with hot water for ~3-4 minutes.
Drain well and pat dry with a towel.
You want them completely thawed and not wet or the hummus will be watery.
Blend Everything Except the Oil
In a food processor, add the edamame, avocado, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, pepper, onion powder, and cilantro.
Pulse a few times to break everything up, then run the processor for ~30-45 seconds until it’s evenly blended.
Stop and scrape down the sides if needed.
Stream in the Olive Oil While Processing
With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil through the feed tube.
This should take ~10-15 seconds to add it all.
Once the oil is incorporated, run for another ~5 seconds until smooth.
Taste and add more salt or pepper if needed – I usually end up adding a bit more salt.
The texture should be creamy but still have some body to it, not completely smooth like regular hummus.
