    Carrots Lyonnaise is so tasty. Sliced carrots, onions and peppers, simmered in a delicious sauce makes one very delicious side dish! Perfect for any day of the week.

    Carrots Lyonnaise is delicious. If you like cooked carrots and onions you have to give this a try. You can use any kind of carrot, sliced as you desire. I use yellow onions most of the time either sliced or chopped.

    Peppers are optional too!  No matter which way you choose to prepare it you will love the results!

    I tend to keep carrots in the fridge at all times.  I love to eat them and I love their price!

    My mother used to make this Carrots Lyonnaise recipe without peppers and I always enjoyed them.  We all did.

    I add sweet peppers most of the time, if I have one, but it is definitely not a necessity!

    When I first started living with my husband every time we ate carrots he wanted them with melted butter and that was it.  I became so sick of them I stopped even buying them.  Then I started asking around and experimenting and now I make carrots all of the time!

    My mother used to make this for us when we were small. Every time I make it I think of her. It's also kinda nice after growing up eating these carrots that my family looks forward to them just as much as I did.  This Carrots Lyonnaise recipe is definitely an oldie and a goodie!

    I have listed my favorites below that we eat on a regular basis.  Hopefully you will find a few you want to try!
