Juicy sausages roasted with sweet grapes and onions for a savory-sweet flavor combination in just 40 minutes.

# What You'll Need:

→ Meats

01 - 1 lb Italian sausages, mild or spicy

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F.

05 - Serve hot, spooning the roasted grapes and onions over the sausages.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It turns four simple ingredients into something that tastes like you labored for hours, but you barely lifted a finger.
  • The grapes become jammy and sweet, balancing the rich sausage in a way that surprises everyone at the table.
  • Cleanup is a breeze since everything roasts together on one pan, leaving you more time to enjoy the meal.
02 -
  • Don't skip flipping the sausages, I learned the hard way that one side can scorch while the other stays pale and sad looking.
  • If your grapes are huge, halve them so they cook down faster and release their sweetness more evenly.
  • Let the pan rest for a minute before serving so the juices thicken slightly and cling to everything better.
03 -
  • Use a rimmed sheet pan instead of a shallow dish to give the grapes more room to caramelize instead of steam.
  • If you want extra crispy sausage skin, broil for the last two minutes but watch it closely so the grapes don't burn.
  • Save any leftover pan juices in the fridge and toss them with roasted vegetables or stir into grain bowls for instant flavor.
