Roasted Sausage and Grapes (Printable Version)

Juicy sausages roasted with sweet grapes and onions, creating a delicious savory-sweet flavor combination.

# What You'll Need:

→ Meats

01 - 1 lb Italian sausages, mild or spicy

→ Produce

02 - 3 cups seedless red grapes, washed and stems removed
03 - 1 medium red onion, peeled and cut into wedges

→ Pantry

04 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

05 - 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves
06 - 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
07 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

# Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F
02 - In a large baking dish or sheet pan, combine grapes, red onion wedges, olive oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
03 - Nestle the sausages among the grapes and onions.

05 - Serve hot, spooning the roasted grapes and onions over the sausages.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It uses one pan and barely any prep, which means more time sitting down and less time scrubbing.
  • The grapes turn into a naturally sweet glaze that makes even cheap sausages taste special.
  • It looks impressive enough for guests but forgiving enough for a weeknight when you're too tired to think.
02 -
  • Don't skip flipping the sausages—they need to brown evenly or one side stays pale and rubbery.
  • If your grapes are huge, cut them in half so they cook down faster and release their sweetness properly.
03 -
  • Use a rimmed sheet pan instead of a shallow dish so the juices don't spill and smoke up your oven.
  • Let the pan rest for a few minutes after roasting—the sausages will be easier to slice and the juices will thicken slightly.
