Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and position a rack in the middle.
Trim and wash the rhubarb stalks, then cut them into 2-3 cm (1-inch) pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rhubarb pieces with granulated sugar, orange zest, orange juice, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Toss gently to ensure the rhubarb is evenly coated with the mixture.
Transfer the spiced rhubarb mixture to a baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the rhubarb is tender but still holds its shape.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve the spiced baked rhubarb warm or chilled. It pairs wonderfully with yogurt, ice cream, or pancakes.
