Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams rhubarb stalks
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 60 ml orange juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Wash the rhubarb stalks thoroughly and trim off the ends and any leaves. Cut the stalks into 2.5 cm (1-inch) pieces.
In a baking dish, spread the rhubarb pieces evenly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, orange juice, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon (if using) until combined.
Pour the mixture over the rhubarb, ensuring all pieces are lightly coated.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to trap moisture and prevent the rhubarb from drying out.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the rhubarb is tender but not mushy.
Remove the foil and let the rhubarb cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm or chilled as a topping for yogurt, ice cream, oatmeal, or enjoy on its own!
