Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel the carrots if necessary.

- Cover the skillet and cook the carrots over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes, or until the carrots are tender but not mushy. Adjust cooking time depending on your preferred texture.
- Once the carrots are cooked to your desired tenderness, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of paprika over them.
- Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to make sure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
- Remove the skillet from heat.
- Transfer the buttered paprika carrots to a serving dish.
- Serve warm, and enjoy as a delicious side dish to any meal!
Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender carrots for the best texture and flavor.
- Cut the carrots into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
- Use high-quality butter for a richer taste.
- If you prefer a bit of a bite, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes along with the paprika.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color and added freshness.
- Try using smoked paprika for an added depth of flavor.
