I love how the roasted rhubarb gives a vibrant, tangy flavor that perfectly contrasts with the creamy, smooth yogurt.

It’s quick to prepare, visually stunning, and so versatile – whether I serve it as a breakfast, a snack, or a light dessert. It’s a delightful combination that feels both fresh and indulgent.

ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

¾ cup plain whole‑milk strained (Greek‑style) yogurt
¼ cup roasted rhubarb
1 Tbsp chopped raw pistachios
Torn fresh mint leaves

directions

First, I spoon the Greek‑style yogurt into a bowl.
Then, I top it with the roasted rhubarb, making sure to drizzle the syrupy juices over the yogurt as well.
Next, I sprinkle the chopped pistachios over the top for a nice crunch.
Finally, I finish it off with a few torn fresh mint leaves for color and a refreshing flavor boost.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 1 serving and takes about 5 minutes of active time, with a total time of about 5 minutes. If I prepare the rhubarb ahead of time, this makes for an even quicker dish when I need it. Roasted rhubarb can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Variations

I love changing things up, and here are some variations I like to try:

I add granola or sliced almonds for extra crunch.
I layer the ingredients in a jar to create a parfait, perfect for an on-the-go snack.
If I want something lighter, I swap the Greek yogurt for a plant-based alternative like coconut yogurt.
Sometimes, I drizzle a little honey over the rhubarb if I’m in the mood for extra sweetness.

storage/reheating

The roasted rhubarb stores well in the fridge for up to 3 days. I keep it in an airtight container and make sure it’s submerged in its syrup to retain its moisture. I don’t typically reheat it; I like serving it chilled or at room temperature. If I decide to warm it up, I do so gently, but I prefer it as is for the refreshing contrast with the yogurt.

FAQs

What kind of yogurt should I use?

I always go for a thick, whole‑milk strained Greek yogurt, which adds a nice richness to the dish. However, if I don’t have that, I simply strain regular yogurt overnight to thicken it.

Can I make this vegan or dairy‑free?

Yes, I can easily make this dish vegan by substituting a plant-based yogurt, like coconut or almond yogurt. I also skip the pistachios if there are allergies and use seeds for a crunchy alternative.

How do I roast the rhubarb?

To roast rhubarb, I cut it into 1½‑inch pieces, drizzle it with sugar (or maple syrup) and optional spices like cinnamon or orange zest, and roast it at 400°F (200°C) for about 12–15 minutes, covered, and another 5 minutes uncovered until it’s tender but still holding its shape.

Can I prepare this ahead?

Yes! I love prepping the rhubarb in advance and storing it in the fridge for up to 3 days. When I’m ready to serve, I just assemble the yogurt bowl and enjoy.

What else can I top this with?

For extra flavor, I sometimes add fresh fruit like berries, citrus segments, or even a drizzle of honey or coconut flakes. You can get creative with additional toppings like granola, seeds, or a sprinkle of spices like cinnamon.

Conclusion

Yogurt with Roasted Rhubarb is an incredibly easy and delicious treat that I find myself making over and over. The combination of tangy rhubarb, creamy yogurt, and crunchy pistachios is so satisfying. Whether as a breakfast, snack, or dessert, this dish is perfect for any occasion and is sure to impress with minimal effort.
