- 1 cup baby spinach or greens (optional)
- 1 medium jalapeño seeds removed and chopped (optional)
- 2 cloves garlic

- 1 ½ cups frozen shelled edamame thawed
- Drizzle of olive oil or coconut aminos, or lemon juice

- ¾ teaspoon marjoram or dried herbs
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Transfer the edamame, avocado flesh, tahini, lemon juice and zest, baby spinach, jalapeño, garlic, marjoram, onion powder, and cumin to the canister of a food processor.
- Pulse until roughly chopped. Then add 1 ice cube, plus 2 tablespoons of ice water, and pulse until smooth. Add more ice water as needed until the desired consistency.
- Season with salt, pepper, and more lemon juice as desired.
- For the roasted edamame (optional): Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Dry the thawed edamame between the layers of a clean dish towel. Transfer to a large baking sheet. Add a drizzle of olive oil, cumin, garlic powder, dried herbs, and salt to taste. Roast for about 25 minutes or until browned.
- Serve edamame guacamole with chopped fresh cilantro, and roasted edamame.
Notes
- Nutrition Facts include roasted edamame.
- Use a soft ripe avocado for a smoother texture.
- For the crispy edamame topping: Make sure to dry the edamame well before seasoning. Adding a touch of olive oil goes a long way in getting them crispy!
- Storage: Refrigerate leftover Edamame Guacamole in an airtight container for up to 3 days. The avocado may oxidize and darken but it is safe to eat. Cover with a film of plastic to help prevent oxidation.
