# What You'll Need:

07 - 1/2 tsp kosher salt

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It looks impressive but uses only a handful of ingredients you probably already have.
  • The grapes burst into sweet, jammy bites that balance the savory richness of the sausage perfectly.
  • Cleanup is almost nonexistent since everything roasts together on one pan.
02 -
  • Don't overcrowd the pan or the grapes will steam instead of caramelize, and you'll miss out on that sweet, sticky glaze.
  • Flip the sausages at the halfway mark so both sides get evenly browned and the bottom doesn't burn while the top stays pale.
03 -
  • Use a sheet pan with low sides instead of a deep baking dish so the heat circulates better and everything caramelizes evenly.
  • Let the sausages rest for a few minutes after roasting so the juices redistribute and every bite stays moist.
