  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Wash and trim rhubarb, then cut into 3-inch pieces.
  3. Place rhubarb in a baking dish in an even layer.
  4. Sprinkle sugar evenly over the rhubarb.
  5. Pour orange juice over the top.
  6. Add vanilla bean seeds and pod or vanilla extract.
  7. Gently toss to coat everything.
  8. Roast for 30–40 minutes, stirring halfway, until soft and syrupy.

Notes

  • Rhubarb becomes naturally soft and syrupy when roasted.
  • Frozen rhubarb can be used if thawed and drained first.
  • Orange juice can be replaced with apple or grape juice.
  • Adjust sugar depending on desired tartness.
  • Best served warm but also delicious cold.
