Preparation

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400 F. Cut off the top of the head of garlic, remove outer papery layer and place the garlic on a sheet of foil. Drizzle the top with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Wrap the garlic in the foil and roast in the oven until soft and golden, about 40-50 minutes. When it’s done and cooled a bit you can squeeze the cloves out of the peel.

Bring a medium pot of water to boil then add the shelled edamame to the boiling water. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes then drain and rinse with cold water.

In the bowl of a food processor add the edamame, lemon juice, ½ teaspoon of salt, tahini and dash of cayenne pepper. Pulse until well combined. Add in 4-6 cloves of the roasted garlic. Pulse until the hummus is completely smooth. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste
