- Prepare the Rhubarb: In a large mixing bowl, toss the rhubarb pieces with sugar, orange juice, vanilla extract, ginger if using, and a pinch of salt until well coated.
- Roast the Rhubarb: Spread the mixture in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a shallow baking dish. Roast for 20–25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the rhubarb is tender but still holds its shape and the juices are syrupy.
