Ingredients

2 cups cooked chickpeas (or from can), remove skins for a more smooth finish
15 oz canned beets, drained (or 8 oz fully cooked and cooled beets)
3 tbsp tahini paste
1 small garlic clove
Juice of 1/2 lemon, more if needed
Kosher salt
1/2 tsp each cumin, coriander, and sumac (optional)
2 ice cubes, more if needed
Extra virgin olive oil (I used Early Harvest Greek extra Virgin Olive Oil
Garnish (optional): feta cheese and parsley
Pita bread wedges or homemade pita chips
Veggies to dip

Steps:

In the large bowl of a food processor fitted with blade, place chickpeas, cooked beets, tahini, garlic, lemon juice. Season with salt and spices.
Run processor for a bit, and while it's running, add 2 ice cubes (this helps whip the beet hummus to a nice creamy consistency.)
Taste and adjust seasonings to your liking. Run processor again if the hummus is too thick yet, adding a little more ice as it runs (you can let it run for 4 minutes or so until you reach your desired creamy texture.)
Transfer beet hummus to a bowl. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle feta and parsley on top. Serve with pita wedges or homemade pita chips and veggies for dipping.

Add remaining ingredients (except the olive oil) and blend until smooth.
Drizzle in olive oil as the hummus is mixing.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or olive oil if needed. (If it's too thick, add a bit of warm water to loosen.)
