Get Your Spring On With This Vegetable

do you put the honey on before or after roasting it? Oh, and my husband is from Ireland - he is nuts about rhubarb and his family grows it on their farm. His favorite dish is rhubarb crumble served over icecream - not really healthy, but delicious!

As a kid my favorite rhubarb recipe was even quicker! Grab a bowl of sugar, dip rhubarb in sugar and eat! :D Rhubarb is JUMMY! :)

Charlotte

This sounds great, I'll give it a try. I've been getting fresh asparagus and steaming it with just some salt and pepper and it's REALLY good.

Brent

I love rhubarb but hubby has a moral objection to it. This roasted recipe sounds delish. Maybe I can convert our 3 boys! *evil grin* Great Job Snack Girl!

Ginger

I like your excitement about rhubarb. I have never tried it, but I'm intrigued, and this recipe is so simple that I'm going to try it out this year.

Julie

I love Rhubarb but have only tried it in a very unhealthy way, Rhubarb Custard Supreme. I will have to try!

LeArden Pike

I've been wanting to try rhubarb ever since your compote recipe actually :) I think I'll go buy some today!

Kati

I wish I saw this last year (or even your recipe last year) because I had sooo much ruhbarb from my CSA and I had no clue what to do with it without making pie!

Lori

Could you use stevia instead of honey? Or even half and half?

Jennifer

Ok, you have convinced me to try it. I remember it as the nasty stuff my grandma grew in her back yard and my mom would bring it home and try to force us to eat it......

Your way (or Martha's) sounds pretty good and it has been a long time since grandma's backyard. Thanks Snack Girl

My daughter and I love rhubarb; we cook it down, add sweetener and then put it on top of vanilla yoghurt for dessert!

Melissa

I love rhubarb, mine is not ready to pick yet but I'm trying this as soon as its ready!

Ann Marie

How many stalks would you say are in a pound?

Stacie

jennifer

Ok, you got me. I'll try rhubarb!

Dalai Lina

I just planted some rhubarb in my yard for the first time. I love it in pies! (I know, not the healthiest of the options, but still yummy). I'll have to try it in some of the other ways you suggested.

Shanna

i've always wondered what rhubarb is! i actually had no idea what it looked like. but i've been eating more and more vegetables so i'm gonna try this! thanks for the info!

Brandi

The recipe last year seemed too labor intensive. This one looks much easier. I've been roasting a lot of different veggies (big props to you) so I'm excited to try this one.

When I was growing up in northern Minnesota in the 50s, we had two huge clumps of rhubarb that were planted by my grandmother around 1920. Starting in the spring (late May in MN) we started having rhubarb at nearly every meal, including breakfast. Rhubarb sauce, rhubarb pancakes, rhubarb cake, rhubarb pie -- and despite all that, I still love those tart pink stems!

Mihla

I haven't had rhubarb since I was a kid in Minnesota! We, too, had it every summer there, fresh from our garden. I'll have to look for some here so I can try roasting it!

Kris

I love rhubarb raw. I use to eat it as a kid with a little sugar on it. Now truvia but hey I hate it cooked. :)

Erika

My fiancée had a recipe for a strawberry rhubarb pie he wanted me to make for him. I have never had it or worked with it before. So I just chopped off the leaves, chopped off the bottom end and diced it all up. It came out a mess. Did I prepare it wrong? Do I peel it before I chop it. What is the correct way to prepare it?

Lauren Keller

I love rhubarb. When I was young in Penna., we had lots of rhubarb and our mother would just cook it down with some sugar and we each got a bowl to have with our dinner. We loved it. Sometimes here in Fl I will see it in the store, and I am on WW and also pre-diabetic, so may try it. Could I cook it with Stevia leaves? I bought a rhubarb start, but it came, just as I was leaving for 2 weeks to Conn and was dead when I came home. Going to order more and see if it will grow here in Florida in a shaded area.

Beverly

I am just getting ready to make your healthy apple crisp. I think tomorrow night I will try making a rhubarb crisp combining both recipes...I can't wait! I love love rhubarb but only need a taste and not the entire pan! :)

Jill

Please remind everyone the leaves are not etible, or even compostobil. I grow it and love it. I make a pudding with it.

Joan

All right Snack girl......You convinced me, I will buy some when I shop on wednesday nad give it a try.....Will come back and add on...Thanks, I think!!LOL Lois

Lois Valentino

I make puddings with it - the type with sauce as part of the pudding like caramel and baked in the oven.

Yummy

Joan

I have rhurbarb planted outside in containers...nearly ready....love it.....grows well in cornwall england.....yummy

rossie

My grandmother cooked it with tapioca.We ate it still warm with cold milk on it. It had a lot of sugar in it but that could be substituted with honey or something else. It was my favorite desert.

Nancy Elhard-Nichols

I've always loved snacking on rhubarb! Thanks for sharing this recipe :)

I usually chop it up and roast it in the oven, then just sprinkle it with a bit of white sugar before chowing down. I've also been known to roast it over a campfire! So yummy!

Samantha

Whoops! Forgot to say that I make a compote and layer it with the yogurt...i just chop up the rhubarb, add sugar and nuke it in the microwave till it is cooked. No need to add water. Sometimes throw in a handfull of frozen or fresh raspberries to make it more pink.

Susanne

Did you know rhubarb is a fantastic cholesterol buster. It not only lowers your cholestrol, it actually cleans those pipes that have cholesterol stuck to them ! :)
