These little beauties created a buzz on Saturday at the farmers market they are called Zephyrs. You are right, they look like a cross between yellow squash and zucchini, that is exactly what they are! You can cook them up and serve them anyway you would yellow squash or zucchini. I don’t know how well they might be in zucchini bread, but they are tasty.
I sliced them in half lengthwise before sprinkling my cayenne pepper olive oil and a touch of salt. I then placed in a grill basket. (If you slice them lengthwise, you can skip the basket and place right on a hot grill.) We used a mesquite charcoal Sunday night; they came off with a spice, smokey flavor to them. Grill ten minutes on each side.
