Veggie finger foods

We've recently started doing a few veggie finger foods. She's tried lima beans, black beans, pinto beans, squash, and sweet potato. What are some of your LO's favorite veggies and how do you prepare them? Thanks!

We also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And HOPE does not dissappoint.

    DS loves cucumber slices (he doesn't like it in stick shape as much as slices) and tomatoes that I just cut in quarters and hand him. He also likes bell pepper (I cut the peel off and cut it in sticks). All these I give him raw.

    I either steam, cook, grill or bake zucchini, squash, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms and really any other veggie and he loves them all. We do BLW, so I usually cut the food into french fry-sized sticks for him.

    DD1 really enjoyed steamed baby carrots! Another favorite were the steamed peas and carrots in the frozen bags. 

    We haven't ventured past Baby Mum Mum's with DD2 because she was slow to take to solids and not crawling yet.

    I give her red pepper strips a lot.  She just chews on them, but she loves them.

    I've been wanting to introduce finger foods, but I have to admit, I'm a little nervous. How did the beans work out? Do you just give them whole, or do you smash them a bit? Is she able to smash them in her mouth and swallow them ok? Does she have any teeth yet? :)

    My DS love to feed himself squash and banana.  I bake the squash in the oven for an hour and scoop out the insides.  It's soft enough for him to suck out of his fist.  He does the same thing with raw bananas and mashed avocado.  He has trouble with some of the harder stuff like pears and peas, so those get pureed.
