Honey roasted rhubarb on toast is a simple yet delicious way to enjoy the unique tartness of rhubarb combined with the sweetness of honey. This dish is a delightful balance of flavors, where the sharpness of the rhubarb is softened by the caramelized honey, creating a wonderfully sweet and tangy topping for a crispy slice of toast. Whether for breakfast, brunch, or a light snack, it offers a perfect blend of textures and tastes.
To start, you’ll need fresh rhubarb, which has a naturally tangy flavor that pairs beautifully with honey’s sweetness. Begin by slicing the rhubarb into small pieces, then toss it with a bit of honey, a pinch of cinnamon, and a small splash of vanilla extract. The honey helps to balance out the tartness of the rhubarb, and the cinnamon adds a warm, cozy note to the overall flavor. Spread the rhubarb mixture on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast it in the oven until the rhubarb becomes soft and caramelized, about 20 to 25 minutes. As it roasts, the rhubarb will release its juices, which combine with the honey to form a sticky, syrupy glaze.
While the rhubarb is roasting, prepare your bread. Choose a thick, hearty bread like sourdough or whole grain that can hold up to the juicy rhubarb. Toast the bread until golden and crispy. Once your toast is ready, spread a thin layer of butter or cream cheese on top for extra richness. The creamy layer acts as a perfect base, complementing the tart-sweet rhubarb topping.
Once the rhubarb is done roasting, spoon the honey-glazed pieces onto your toast. For an extra touch of flavor and texture, you can sprinkle some crushed nuts like almonds or walnuts on top, or add a few fresh mint leaves to brighten the dish. The result is a beautiful, flavorful toast that’s perfect for a sweet morning treat or an afternoon snack.
Honey roasted rhubarb on toast is a wonderful way to enjoy the seasonal fruit, and it’s as easy as it is delicious. The combination of flavors will have you coming back for more.

YUM! Perfect in the morning! 😍💖
Seriously? Who puts rhubarb on toast? This is just a bad idea, sorry not sorry!
Super quick and simple recipe! Will make again for sure! My kids loved it too!
Easy to make! I used regular bread and it still turned out great. Rhubarb is so tart, but the honey balances it out nicely.
This does sound easy! I didn’t think rhubarb could be good, but honey makes everything better. Gonna try it out later!
I couldn’t find rhubarb, so I used strawberries. It was still pretty awesome, but idk if that counts?
I tried this and it was just ok. Rhubarb taste too tangy for me. Maybe I did something wrong?
I was skeptical at first. Rhubarb seems weird on toast, but you know what? It actually works. Just don’t overdo the honey, it can get too sweet.
Never thought about rhubarb like that! I’ll give it a shot. Thanks!
This is sooo good! I never thought of putting rhubarb on toast before. Will make again!
Really tasty. Thx for sharing! I love finding new ways to eat stuff I already like.
This sounds amazing! Can’t wait to try it myself. Rhubarb is the best!
I tried this recipe but the rhubarb turned mushy. What did I do wrong? 😕
I had the same issue before! Make sure you don’t roast it too long. 15-20 minutes is perfect, but if you leave it in too long, it’ll turn to mush. Good luck!
Maybe your rhubarb was too ripe? I’ve seen that happen before. Just keep experimenting!
Who eats rhubarb? lol. I stuck to peanut butter on toast instead. No offense!
Peanut butter is good too, but have you ever thought about mixing it with some fruit? Rhubarb might surprise you!
Rhubarb is actually really tasty when prepared right! You should give it a try sometime. It’s not just for pies!
I don’t get the hype. The rhubarb was too sour for my taste. Maybe it’s just me?
Yum! I loved it! Perfect for breakfast. The honey really makes it sweet and tasty. 👍
What the heck is rhubarb? Is it even edible? LOL
Can’t find rhubarb where I live, so I used strawberries. Still delicious! 🍓
This was surprisingly good! Never thought rhubarb could taste so nice on toast. I added a little cinnamon too.
My family loved it! Swapped honey for maple syrup and it was yum!
Maple syrup? Really? I thought honey was the main part! How does that even work? But glad your family liked it, I guess.
That sounds delicious! I bet the maple syrup gave it a nice flavor twist. I’ll have to try that next time!
Can I use regular bread instead of sourdough? Sourdough is just too expensive!
Sure, regular bread works too! Just toast it well. Enjoy!
I tried this but my rhubarb turned mushy and tasted weird. Not sure what went wrong…
Tried this recipe but forgot the butter. It was still good tho, but butter makes it better!
I think the butter is super important, it adds that creamy goodness! But glad it still turned out okay for you.
You forgot the butter?! That’s like pancakes without syrup! Still, good that it was tasty for you.
Rhubarb is really bitter, how can it be sweet? Doesn’t make sense.
This is the perfect combo! I loved it! Rhubarb with honey is so sweet and tart!
Quick and easy! I’d like more recipes like this. 🍞🥳
I thought this would be too sweet, but it was actually kinda bland. I think it needs more spices or something. Not a fan.
This was surprisingly delicious! I wasn’t sure about rhubarb before, but the honey made it so sweet. Will definitely make again!
Rhubarb? Isn’t that for pies? 😂 Never thought of this, but wow it turned out nice! Good recipe!
I don’t understand what the fuss is about, it tasted like mush. Maybe I did it wrong? 🤷♂️
