Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Rinse the rhubarb and shake off the excess water. Trim the ends and cut the rhubarb into little finger-sized pieces. Put the rhubarb in a shallow dish or baking sheet with sides, tip the sugar over, toss together, then shuffle the rhubarb so it's in a single layer.
  2. Cover with foil and roast for 15 mins. Remove the foil. The sugar should have dissolved, so give everything a little shake and roast for another 5 mins or until tender and the juices are syrupy. Test with a sharp knife; the rhubarb should feel tender, not mushy, and still have kept its shape.

    I was never very keen on Rhubarb until I started using this recipe. I used to cook it for my partner, but didn't eat it myself. Thwn I started to use this as with the crumble recipe that accompanied it that included pine nuts in the mix and now I am hooked!

    Try adding the juice and zest of half an orange and some chopped ginger for an unsual twist to the roasted recipe. Goes great in a crumbel or just on it's own.

    I will now never cook rhubarb any other way. Apart from not dissolving into an amorphous mass of mush, the flavour is intensified and the end result is far more adaptable for inclusion in other recipes. Delish!

    For a grown-up version I used less sugar and sprinkled the rhubarb with some mead before roasting with delicious results. This also works using a dessert wine instead of mead.

    The flavour of roasted rhubarb is so much more intense than tht of stewed rhubarb. It is lovely as a cold compote for breakfast or as an easy pudding with double cream. And it's so easy!

    I will always cook rhubarb this way - so easy and I like how it doesn't go into a boiled mess. It's quite a foolproof method - I forgot to cover with foil and it coked quicker but was still fine.

    This was tasty and I liked the way the rhubarb kept its shape and colour - it made it into a pretty dish when served with vanilla ice cream. I have to say though, it still doesn't beat stewed rhubarb for me! I prefer the comforting, soupy texture and when it melts into ice cream...

    Gorgeous - the rhubarb keeps its shape and "bite", you get loads of beautiful pink juice - and you don't need to add any more sugar afterwards. Wonderful with ice-cream or even low fat fromage frais x

    My very favourite way of cooking rhubarb. The juices are especially nice drained off and added to prosecco or champagne for a rhubarby take on a bellini.
