Edamame mezze is similar to hummus in consistency and appearance but lighter in flavor, making it a nice (and refreshing) departure from the classic chickpea dish. To differentiate this dip even further, this recipe adds roasted veggies, spices, and plenty of heart-healthy olive oil.

- 1yellow onion, chopped
- 1/4red bell pepper, chopped
- 1/2 cups chopped red cabbage

- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Place onion, red pepper, and cabbage on a sheet of aluminum foil and drizzle lightly with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Chop top off garlic heads so cloves are expose and place on a separate sheet. Drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil.

- Place roasted vegetables into a food processor with edamame, dill, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and paprika. Pulse until grainy.
