Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Rinse the asparagus and trim off the tough ends. Cut the carrots into thin sticks.

In a mixing bowl, combine asparagus, carrots, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Toss everything together.

Spread the vegetable mix evenly on the baking sheet in a single layer.

Roast in the oven for about 20 minutes, tossing halfway for even cooking.

Check for doneness, ensuring carrots are fork-tender and asparagus is tender-crisp.

Transfer to a serving platter, drizzle with balsamic glaze or lemon juice if desired, and serve warm.
