# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It looks fancy enough for guests but is actually one of the easiest dishes you can throw in the oven.
  • The sweet-savory balance keeps you coming back for another bite without feeling heavy.
  • Everything cooks on one pan, which means less cleanup and more time enjoying your meal.
02 -
  • Don't skip flipping the sausages halfway through—one side will brown beautifully while the other stays pale and undercooked if you forget.
  • The grapes release liquid as they cook, which becomes this incredible glaze, but if your pan looks too wet after 20 minutes, increase the heat slightly for the last few minutes to evaporate some of that moisture and encourage caramelization.
03 -
  • Don't crowd your pan—if your sheet pan feels full, use a larger one or roast in batches, because sausages need room to brown instead of steam.
  • Room-temperature ingredients cook more evenly than cold ones pulled straight from the fridge, so let everything sit on the counter while your oven preheats.
