# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It turns a handful of humble ingredients into something that looks and tastes like youve been cooking all day.
  • The grapes burst and caramelize into a glossy, jammy sauce that clings to every bite of sausage.
  • Cleanup is laughably easy because everything roasts together on one pan.
  • It works just as well for a weeknight scramble as it does for a dinner party that needs to impress without stress.
02 -
  • Dont overcrowd the pan or the grapes will steam instead of caramelize, and youll miss out on those jammy, concentrated pockets of sweetness.
  • If your sausages are on the thicker side, add an extra five minutes to the roasting time and check the internal temperature hits 160°F.
  • A splash of balsamic vinegar in the last five minutes of roasting deepens the flavor and adds a subtle tang that makes everything taste more complex.
03 -
  • Let the dish rest for a few minutes after it comes out of the oven so the juices settle and the flavors meld together.
  • If youre doubling the recipe, use two pans instead of crowding one, or the temperature will drop and everything will steam instead of roast.
  • Save any leftover pan drippings to toss with pasta or stir into grains the next day, theyre too good to waste.
