Place the eggs in a large saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid. Allow the eggs to sit in the hot water for 9-12 minutes.
Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool completely, about 5 minutes. Carefully peel the eggs and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Slice each egg in half lengthwise and gently scoop out the yolks into a medium mixing bowl. Arrange the egg whites on a serving platter, cut-side up.
Using a fork, mash the yolks until smooth. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the yolks. Mix well until combined.
Fold in the grated carrot, chopped celery, red bell pepper, and half of the chopped chives. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Transfer the yolk mixture to a piping bag or use a spoon to carefully fill each egg white half with the mixture.
Garnish the filled eggs with the remaining chives and a light sprinkle of paprika for extra color.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 4 hours before serving.
