- Process until smooth. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until fully incorporated. Add a tablespoon or two of water if needed to reach desired consistency.

Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Beetroot Hummus
- For a richer flavor, roast the beetroot before boiling. Simply toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting at 400°F (200°C) for 45 minutes.
- If using canned chickpeas, rinse them thoroughly before using to remove excess sodium and starch.
- Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preference for spice level.
- For a smoother hummus, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve after processing.
