Toss carrot slices with olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Roast at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes until caramelized.
3. Cook the Chicken
Season chicken with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Grill or pan-sear over medium heat for 6–7 minutes per side until fully cooked.
4. Cook the Lamb Chops
Season lamb chops with paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chops for 3–4 minutes per side. Add butter and garlic, spooning the garlic butter over the meat while cooking.
