SAVE ✓ SAVED ADD TO MEAL PLAN PRINT

We love all kinds of dips for cut veggies and chips. This one, starring edamame, is a beautiful green and tastes super fresh! Soybeans are rich in protein, dietary fiber, micronutrients and vitamin K.

Method

  1. To roast garlic, place unpeeled cloves in a foil packet, drizzle with a bit of olive oil and cook in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes.
  2. While garlic is roasting, bring 6-8 cups of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Drop in frozen or fresh edamame, bring water back to a boil, and cook for at least 5 minutes until beans are tender and cooked through. Drain the beans and cool, reserving 1 cup of cooking liquid to thin the dip.
  3. Set up the food processor and add all ingredients, except the cooking liquid. Pulse to combine, then add cooking liquid a little at a time while processing until smooth.
  4. Serve with cut veggies and pita chips.
Babyfood Option:

Dips are great babyfoods that can be thinned and pureed very soft and smooth for new eaters. It can also be used as a spread for toast which can be cut into small squares, triangles or strips as a finger food.
