Savory Spiced Edamame Hummus - Vegan recipe hero image

You know those moments when you just crave something a little different?

This Savory Spiced Edamame Hummus has been my go-to for quick snacking or when friends drop by unexpectedly.

I remember whipping this up for a gathering, and everyone loved the unique flavor.

It's packed with protein and is so easy to make—perfect for those busy days when you want something nutritious without the fuss.

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

Edamame is not only tasty but also loaded with protein! If you can't find shelled edamame, you can use frozen ones; just cook them according to package instructions. I love using fresh lemon juice because it brightens everything up, but bottled works in a pinch. Feel free to play around with spices; I sometimes add a dash of curry powder for a different twist!

Tips & Notes

  • I keep mine in a glass jar in the fridge—it stays fresh for about a week.
  • Serve it with fresh veggies or whole grain pita chips for a satisfying snack!

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes I'll add roasted red peppers for a sweet, smoky flavor.
  • If I'm feeling indulgent, I mix in some nutritional yeast for a cheesy twist!

Storage & Freezing

Store your hummus in an airtight container in the fridge. It’s great for up to a week, but I doubt it’ll last that long—it's just too good!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use other beans instead of edamame?

Absolutely! Chickpeas would work great too, but they’ll give you a different flavor. If you’re in the mood for an adventure, try black beans!

    Add water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. I like mine creamy but not too thick.
