Roasted Rhubarb is a good dessert as is for those watching their weight, since there is no fat and only 46 calories per serving. For a few more calories, pair it with little fat-free frozen yogurt. For those who aren't watching their weight, use it as a topping for ice cream or cake squares. The cooked rhubarb can also be refrigerated for several days.
