  • 150g caster sugar

  2. Place the rhubarb and ginger in a medium baking dish. Scatter the sugar over it and scrape the vanilla bean seeds into the dish.

  3. Leave the dish on the countertop for around 30 minutes to let the rhubarb release some of its juices.

  4. Mix the ingredients around the dish a little so everything is coated in sugar and rhubarb juice.

  5. Roast for around 30 minutes until the rhubarb spears are soft but not yet falling apart. Let cool slightly and serve with good vanilla icecream.
