While I would say that rhubarb pie is definitely a favourite for many, it’s also not a everyday dessert. Roasted rhubarb, though, with all its health perks is a different story. It’s fast to prepare and it’s not hard on your fat quotas.
It’s delicious on its own or atop Greek yogurt. Enjoy!
Roasted Rhubarb
Serves 6
1 1/4 pounds rhubarb, diced into 1-inch pieces (about 6 cups)
1/4 cup brown sugar
2-3 tbsp maple syrup
Grated zest of 1 orange
1 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 325° F.
In a medium bowl, toss together rhubarb, brown sugar, 2 tbsp maples syrup, orange zest and vanilla extract. Pour rhubarb mixture into a large baking dish (9×13-in) and spread so that pieces are in a single layer.
Bake for 20 -25 minutes, or until rhubarb is tender. Adjust sweetness, if necessary, by adding the remaining tablespoon of maples syrup.
