Preheat oven to 400 F. Place beets on a foil lined baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Wrap the beets tightly in the foil and roast until tender, about 35-45 minutes. Let cool and peel and roughly chop.
Combine chickpeas, tahini, lemon zest and juice and garlic cloves in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse the mixture until combined and stream in the olive oil while processing. Add a few splashes of water to loosen the mixture if needed.
