# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The grapes transform into little bursts of sweetness that perfectly balance the savory sausage
  • Everything cooks on one pan, so cleanup is almost nonexistent
  • It looks impressive but comes together in under 45 minutes start to finish
02 -
  • The grapes will look wrinkled and softened—that's exactly what you want, they're supposed to burst and release their juices
  • Dont crowd the pan or everything will steam instead of roast, so use a larger baking dish if needed
03 -
  • Let the sausages rest for 5 minutes before serving so they stay juicy and dont lose all their moisture when cut
  • If the onions are browning too quickly, tent the pan loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes
