I like to get the smallest ones I can. :-) They are SO tender!
I know it's way too late but I like to slice them vertically as well and
cook them in the electric grill with a little olive oil and dill weed.

My final decision was to slice them vertically, sprinkle them with pepper
and grated Parmesan, bake them until tender, and then dribble on some melted
butter. Good, but not great.

See my T-day series. Grilling them does work. :-)
I topped them with dill weed, salt free lemon pepper and parm'.

I added the parm' after they were done but still hot.

If I did not have the electric grill, I'd likely have broiled them in
the toaster oven:

I think the secret to little Zuc's is cooking them to where they are
just done but still slightly crisp, and not cooked to mush. ;-) Another
way it to just serve them halved and raw with a dip to personal taste.
I like Ranch.

They look great, Om, and since I don't have an electric grill I may try them
in the toaster oven. On the other hand, slicing them vertically in quarters
and dipping them in something tasty does sound like a snacky idea.

Cheers! :-)

Crudites are a regular item any more on holidays, including quartered
squashes. I now avoid raw carrots any more as even tho' they are
requested, nobody ever eats them!

The one time I steamed baby carrots and served them on the crudite tray,
they actually got munched. <g>

I personally cannot stand raw carrots... but love them cooked.

I have julienned them, along with small yellow squash, then coated
them with Italian salad dressing and cooked them in my Geo Foreman.
No extra oil. Tasty.

My Hamilton grill is a knock off of the GF. :-)
Larger and less expensive is all.

And very handy. I've had mine for several years and take care with the
finish. It's lasted very well....Sharon

This one has lasted longer than usual. I've quit cooking chicken in it
altogether.
