# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It uses one pan and barely any prep, so cleanup is almost nonexistent.
  • The grapes burst and caramelize into this jammy sauce that makes everything taste gourmet.
  • You can throw it together on a weeknight but serve it to guests without hesitation.
02 -
  • Don't skip flipping the sausages or one side will be pale and sad while the other burns.
  • If your grapes are huge, halve them so they cook through and release their juices properly.
  • Let the pan sit for a minute before serving so the juices thicken slightly and cling to everything.
03 -
  • Use a rimmed sheet pan instead of a shallow dish so the juices don't spill and smoke up your oven.
  • If the grapes start to dry out, add a tablespoon of water or white wine halfway through roasting.
  • Leftovers reheat beautifully and taste even better the next day once the flavors marry.
