Start by bringing a pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the shelled edamame and cook for 3-5 minutes until they are tender and vibrant green. Drain the edamame and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.

In a food processor, combine the chilled edamame with tahini, lime juice, garlic, and salt. Drizzle in some olive oil for richness.

Pulse the food processor until well combined, scraping down the sides as needed. Blend for 1-2 minutes until completely smooth. Gradually add water if too thick.

Taste the hummus and adjust flavors, adding more lime juice or salt if needed. Blend again briefly to incorporate any adjustments.

Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and garnish with sesame seeds or chopped herbs.

Serve immediately with fresh vegetable sticks or pita chips.
