Smashed Edamame Toast
Description
This recipe blends the protein-rich edamame with creamy avocado and nutty tahini, accented by soy sauce for saltiness, garlic and serrano pepper for heat, and fresh cilantro with lime for brightness. Sesame oil adds a toasted aroma that complements the other ingredients. The result is a chunky, flavorful spread with a balance of creamy and fresh notes. Toasting multigrain or seeded bread provides a sturdy base with crisp texture.
Topping the spread with hemp seeds introduces a subtle nutty crunch, and optional sauerkraut or pickled onions add acidity and a slight tang that cuts through the richness. The recipe suggests serving it open-faced as a protein-rich vegetarian snack or light meal. Leftover spread keeps well refrigerated for up to 10 days, although the vibrant green color will fade over time.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup tahini 56 g
- 12 ounces edamame Note 1, shelled, frozen, defrosted, 340 g
- ½ of a medium ripe avocado
- 1 ½ tablespoons soy sauce Note 2, or tamari
- 4 garlic roughly chopped, cloves
- ½ to 1 Serrano pepper roughly chopped (Note 3)
- 1 cilantro remove thick stems, big handful, leaves and tender stems
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil more to taste, toasted
- 1 lime zested and juiced, large
- kosher salt to taste
For Serving
- 6 tablespoons hemp seed
- sauerkraut or pickled onions (optional)
- 8 lices multigrain bread toasted, if desired, seeded or sprouted
Instructions
- Add the tahini, edamame, avocado, soy sauce, garlic, chile pepper, cilantro, sesame oil, and lime zest and juice to a food processor. Start blending until it turns into a chunky dip. Season with salt to taste as needed.
- Toast your bread of choice. Smear a generous amount of the edamame smash onto each slice of bread.
- Top with hemp seeds and sauerkraut or pickled onions, if desired.
- Store leftover spread in an airtight container in the fridge for 7 to 10 days. The green color will fade but it will still taste good.
Notes
- The edamame mash itself offers about 18-20 grams of protein per serving; adding two slices of seeded multigrain toast and hemp seeds increases this to approximately 30 grams.
- Refrigerated edamame can be found at some grocery stores if frozen shelled edamame is unavailable.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute tamari for soy sauce.
- Removing membranes from serrano peppers can reduce heat; jalapeño may be used as a milder substitute.
