Add 2-3 small, peeled, and cooked beets to the bowl of a food processor and pulse several times until finely chopped.
Add ¼ cup tahini, 1 (15-oz) can (or 1½ cups cooked chickpeas), 1 teaspoon lemon zest, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (you can add more to taste), 1 teaspoon of salt, and 2-4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.
Process for 1 to 2 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed, until smooth and creamy.
If needed, add additional olive oil or a small splash of water to reach your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning with more lemon juice, salt, or tahini if desired.
Transfer to a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil and add toppings if using.
Remember to taste and season with additional salt, lemon, tahini, or extra virgin olive oil as needed. If you feel it's lacking "extra" flavor, try blending in a pinch of dried cumin or a little honey for a sweeter taste.
Store leftover beet hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 to 5 days. Stir before serving.
