Creamy Edamame Purée with Lemon and Parmesan

This vibrant recipe takes humble edamame and transforms it into a smooth, flavorful purée bursting with freshness. Blended with lemon juice, zest, garlic, and olive oil, it strikes a perfect balance between creamy and bright, with just enough richness to make each bite satisfying.

Toasted pine nuts lend a warm, nutty crunch that complements the silky texture of the purée, while a sprinkle of Parmesan adds depth and savory notes. The combination feels both wholesome and indulgent—simple ingredients elevated into something special.

Served on golden, oven-toasted slices of Italian bread, each piece delivers a satisfying mix of crispness and creaminess. Optional toppings like sautéed red onion or microgreens add color and complexity, making this appetizer as beautiful as it is delicious.

Whether enjoyed as a snack, a party starter, or a light lunch, this lemony edamame spread brings a burst of freshness to any table and a fun twist on classic crostini.
