How to Make Homemade Edamame Hummus
Tips for Perfect Homemade Hummus Recipes
- Getting those skins off your chickpeas isn't essential, but will make for a smooth hummus! Be sure to microwave them with baking soda to loosen the skins.
- Be sure to save some of that chickpea liquid! Instead of adding water I used the liquid to help get that smooth texture.
- It's not hummus without something to dip it in! I recommend serving with fresh veggies or pita. It's even better if you can make your own homemade pita!
- The edamame also have a skin on them similar to the chickpeas. I recommend pinching those all as well!
Let’s Talk Substitutions
If you don’t have any jalapeno you could use cayenne pepper instead. Similarily, if you’re missing fresh garlic you could use garlic powder instead (it just won’t be as good). If you don’t have any tahini, then almond butter can be used instead. Lastly, if you don’t have any olive oil, then you could use avocado oil, or canola if needed (but we don’t like canola as much).
Why You'll Love It
- You’ll love homemade edamame hummus made with jalapeno for its unique, vibrant flavour. The smooth, nutty taste of edamame blends perfectly with the spicy kick of jalapeno, creating a dip that’s both creamy and zesty. It’s perfect for pairing with veggies, pita, or as a bold spread on sandwiches. Plus, making it at home means fresh ingredients and just the right amount of heat. This healthy, delicious snack will quickly become a favourite!
What to Serve with Homemade Hummus
Obviously, we know you can’t go wrong with fresh veggies. Cucumbers, carrots, peppers, cauliflower you name it- it will be good! Now, if you’re looking to go the extra mile Sweet Simple Vegan’s homemade pita bread recipe is to DIE FOR. Not only did my boyfriend and I make it once, but twice in one weekend because we were inhaling them with the hummus! They are the pitas I used in the photos you saw above, and although they are a bit of work they are SO good. I recommend just doubling the recipe to start 😏.
