Ingredients

• 4 medium beets
• 4 tablespoons Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon white vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill
• 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash the beets thoroughly to remove dirt, then trim off the stems and roots.

Step 3

Place the beets on a sheet of aluminum foil, drizzle them with olive oil, and tightly wrap them in the foil.

Step 4

Roast the beets in the oven for 40-45 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 5

Remove the beets from the oven and let them cool until they are easy to handle.

Step 6

Peel the skins off the beets by rubbing gently with a paper towel or your hands, then cut each beet in half lengthwise.

Step 7

Using a small melon baller or spoon, carefully scoop out a small amount of the center of each beet half to create a cavity (similar to the yolk cavity in a deviled egg). Set the removed beet centers aside.

Step 8

In a medium bowl, mash the reserved beet centers with a fork until smooth.

Step 9

Add Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, fresh dill, salt, and pepper to the mashed beet centers. Mix until well combined and smooth.

Step 10

Transfer the mixture to a piping bag or a small plastic bag with the corner snipped off.

Step 11

Pipe the filling into the cavities of the beet halves, filling each generously.

Step 12

Garnish the deviled beets with a sprinkle of smoked paprika and additional chopped dill, if desired.

Step 13

Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
