Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
Wash the beets thoroughly to remove dirt, then trim off the stems and roots.
Place the beets on a sheet of aluminum foil, drizzle them with olive oil, and tightly wrap them in the foil.
Roast the beets in the oven for 40-45 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the beets from the oven and let them cool until they are easy to handle.
Peel the skins off the beets by rubbing gently with a paper towel or your hands, then cut each beet in half lengthwise.
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.
In a medium bowl, mash the reserved beet centers with a fork until smooth.
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.
Transfer the mixture to a piping bag or a small plastic bag with the corner snipped off.
Pipe the filling into the cavities of the beet halves, filling each generously.
Garnish the deviled beets with a sprinkle of smoked paprika and additional chopped dill, if desired.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
