Step 1
Place the drained chickpeas, beet chunks, and tahini into a food processor. Secure the lid and pulse 8–10 times until the mixture looks like coarse sand with pea-sized chunks still visible.
Step 2
Pour in the lemon juice and sprinkle a small pinch of salt and pepper on top. Turn the food processor on and blend continuously for 45–60 seconds until smooth, glossy, and pale pink-red.
Step 3
Taste the hummus and add more salt or pepper as needed, then pulse once to combine. If the mixture looks dry or stiff, add water 1 tablespoon at a time and blend until it reaches a soft, spreadable consistency.
Step 4
Transfer the hummus to a shallow bowl and use the back of a spoon to create a small well in the center. Drizzle with a thin stream of olive oil (about 1 teaspoon) into the well, then scatter fresh herbs like dill or parsley on top if desired.
