Boil 4-6 cups of water in a medium pan and once boiling, add in the raw beet (with skin on) and cook for about 30-45 minutes until soft. Keep the pan on low/medium heat.
Once the beet is cooked, remove from the pan and let cool. Then use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin.
Rinse chickpeas under cold water for about 1 minute to remove any residue from the can.
In a blender or food processor, add in all ingredients and blend until smooth. Add in additional olive oil or a bit of water to thin out hummus to your preferred consistency.
