Step 2: Prepare the Rhubarb (A Little Prep Work) Trim the ends of the rhubarb stalks and discard any tough or dry parts. Cut the rhubarb into 2-inch pieces. Cutting them into uniform pieces ensures they cook evenly.

Step 3: Combine Ingredients (Sweet and Tangy Harmony) In a bowl, combine the cut rhubarb, fresh orange juice, and vanilla sugar. The orange juice adds a bright, citrusy Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over the mixture. Toss everything together gently to ensure the rhubarb is evenly coated.

Step 4: Arrange on Baking Tray (Ready to Roast) Spread the rhubarb mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking tray. Roasting in a single layer allows the rhubarb to caramelize slightly, intensifying its flavor and creating a more appealing texture.

Step 5: Roast the Rhubarb (The Magic Happens) Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the rhubarb is tender. The rhubarb should be soft enough to pierce easily with a fork,, adding a touch of sweetness and depth of flavor.

Step 6: Cool and Serve (Almost There!) Once the rhubarb is tender, remove the baking tray from the oven and let the roasted rhubarb cool slightly before serving.

Step 7: Store Leftovers (For Later Enjoyment) Store any leftover roasted rhubarb in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
