And as a Registered Dietitian, it’s even better to me when those snack recipes are packed with protein, fiber and healthy fats (just like my absolutely delicious, couldn’t-be-easier Air Fryer Chickpea Snack!) and this edamame dip totally is.
This spicy edamame dip recipe has a slightly nutty, spicy flavor that’s super fresh. It’s seriously SO delicious paired with veggies, crackers, or my personal favorite way to eat it, with tortilla chips!

Never Cooked With Edamame Before?!
Don’t worry, it seriously couldn’t be easier! I’ve made and shared a ton of easy edamame recipes because it’s such a great protein source that’s easy to keep on hand, since it’s a frozen!
I recommend buying shelled edamame from the freezer section of your grocery store. I’ve tried using edamame in the pods to make this recipe since it’s what I had on hand, and let’s just say, it took WAY longer to make the recipe!
To cook the edamame before making the dip, I simply boil the kettle, place the frozen edamame in a large bowl, and pour the boiling water over top- enough to cover! Then I let the edamame sit in the water for about three minutes, until cooked through. You can pull one edamame bean out to taste test!

Once it’s cooked, just drain the water and voila! The easiest, protein rich addition to this dip, and other easy recipes like my 5-Minute, High Protein Sundried Tomato & Hummus Toast!
Another version of this edamame dip is my Cilantro Lime Edamame Dip– It’s just as easy as this recipe, but less spicy!
