Roasted Rhubarb

I can think of so many wonderful and creative rhubarb dishes I've tried and never been disappointed because rhubarb is one of my very favorite foods. I will try rhubarb anything. There is also something to be said for enjoying the simplicity of a food and savoring it's unique flavor. This was the case this week's French Friday recipe. Just look at that wonderful red rhubarb!














Now for a sprinkle of lemon zest and a bit of sugar















See how juicy and bubbly it is right out of the oven!
















If you are a rhubarb lover like me, sometimes there
is no better way to enjoy this yummy treat than warm
with some fresh whipped cream on top, thanks Dorie!

  2. Your rhubarb looks so bright! Great post and blog. I tried to comment on your macaroon post from the end of May but something's wrong on my end. Those look great as well. Thanks for commenting on my blog. I've added yours to my Google Reader and look forward to reading your future posts!

  5. I don't know what happened to mine - but I am not giving up :) Nana is already out on the hunt for more. Who knew this would be the elusive ingredient around here ? I am curious to find if the "green" rhubarb is more of a problem in taste and texture than the red stuff. Mine looked way more like celery and Nana's wonderful rhubarb looked like yours. Do-over !

  7. Those rhubarb of yours look so plump and red, I'm quite envious because I could only get my hands on canned rhubarb that looked green was quite mushy! No roasting for me this week, so I made rhubarb Popsicles instead ;-).

  13. Lovely photos - I'm a big rhubarb fan myself and am lucky enough to have a plant in my garden. This dish was a great addition to the rhubarb repertoire.
