Good recipe, but couldn't taste any paprika.

These carrots were amazing. Tender, flavorful and sweet. We enjoyed the carrots prepared this way very much. The paprika and lemon adds another layer of flavor. Thank you for sharing this lovely recipe. Made for Whats on the Menu Tag Game.

I scaled back for 2 serves and this was enough for 3 of us with other sides. As my baby carrots were small I only halved them and cooked as directed and oh I also just mixed everything in the cooking pan and then it was a case into a 175C fan forced oven for 35 minutes and perfecto very tasty carrots that we all enjoyed, thank you BarbryT, made for Aussie/Kiwi Recipe Swap #85 February 2014.

We loved this recipe. We don't make carrots very often & normally prefer tart vs sweet, this one was kinda in the middle with just enough sweet from the juice & carrots which balanced nicely with the tart of the lemon & paprika. I didn't have unsalted butter so I just cut the kosher salt back abit. For a change I didn't have to adjust more ingredients & it came out absolutely perfectly for us, thanks for sharing.
