# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The grapes burst into jammy sweetness while roasting, creating a naturally sweet sauce without any fuss or extra ingredients.
  • Everything cooks on one pan, which means less cleanup and more time enjoying the meal with people you actually want to talk to.
  • It feels like something from a restaurant but tastes even better because you made it, and that confidence boost is real.
02 -
  • Don't overcrowd the pan or the sausages will steam instead of brown; if your pan is small, work in batches or use two pans.
  • Flip the sausages halfway through cooking because one side always seems to brown faster than the other, and you want even color.
  • The grapes will look almost burnt at the edges, and that's exactly when they taste best, so don't worry about dark spots.
03 -
  • Use a sheet pan with raised edges rather than a flat baking sheet so the pan juices don't escape into your oven.
  • If your sausages are particularly thick, slice them in half lengthwise before roasting so they cook more evenly and caramelize faster.
