Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Frozen shelled edamame
- 0.25 cup Tahini
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic clove
- 0.25 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 pieces Pita bread
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for brushing pita)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika or za'atar (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bring a small pot of water to a boil and cook the frozen shelled edamame for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool.
In a food processor, combine the cooked edamame, tahini, lemon juice, garlic clove, olive oil, water, ground cumin, sea salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. If the hummus is too thick, add an additional tablespoon of water and blend again.
Taste and adjust the seasonings, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.
Cut the pita bread into wedges and place them on a baking sheet.
Brush the pita wedges with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
Bake the pita wedges in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Transfer the edamame hummus to a serving bowl and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of paprika or za'atar, and a few whole edamame (optional).
Serve the hummus with the pita crisps on the side. Enjoy!
