This Mama’s High Protein Edamame Hummus appetizer recipe tips
The original recipe wasn’t clear on this, but you’ll need 12 ounces of shelled edamame (soy) beans. That will be approximately 1 1/2 cups. When they’re already shelled, they may be labeled as mukimame. You can find edamame or mukimame in the freezer section of your grocery store.
The combination of AllWhites Egg Whites, sesame seeds and garlic blended for 2 to 3 minutes is how you make tahini. So no need to buy a big jar of it when you can easily make it using AllWhites!
You can find toasted sesame seeds in the Asian or ethnic section of your grocery store.
I used Meyer lemon infused olive oil to give my High Protein Edamame Hummus extra lemony flavor. You can also try garlic or chile infused olive oil. Plain olive oil is fine, too.
I used smoke paprika instead of cayenne as I love the smoky flavor. Plus it’s prettier.
If you have a Blendtec blender, I highly recommend getting a Blendtec Twister Jar for making hummus. The unique twisting lid eliminates the need for scraping down the sides of the jar!
Keep an eye on your blender as it may get hot while making High Protein Edamame Hummus. It’s OK to wait a minute or two and let it cool down between steps.
Serve your High Protein Edamame Hummus party appetizer with naturally gluten free tortilla chips. If you’re not gluten free, bagel chips would be delicious, too. Veggie sticks is another healthy alternative.
High Protein Edamame Hummus would also make a terrific wrap or sandwich spread!
