Cranberry Zucchini Wedges image

I try to slip zucchini into as many dishes as possible. These cake wedges have wonderful flavor and a tender texture. They are pretty, too, with bits of pineapple, cranberries and zucchini. And they're perfect for brunch.-Redawna Kalynchuk, Sexsmith, Alberta

These wedges were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try them again with less sugar next time.

These wedges were a total disaster. They fell apart when I tried to flip them and they were completely burnt on the bottom. I won't be making these again.

These wedges were a bit too spicy for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try them again with less chili powder next time.

These wedges were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try them again with less oil next time.

I'm not a big fan of cranberries, but I really enjoyed these wedges. The sweetness of the cranberries was balanced out by the tartness of the zucchini.

These wedges were a total flop. They were dry and bland, and the cranberries were too tart. I won't be making these again.
