Yes, cooked plain beets are safe for dogs in small amounts. Offer them in small, soft cubes to prevent choking and aid digestion. While they contain oxalates, which in very large quantities could irritate the kidneys, keeping them as an occasional treat is perfectly fine. Just serve them plain without any seasoning, butter, or oil.
