Roasted Sausage and Grapes

Roasted Sausage and Grapes are the perfect combinations of sweet and savory. Made with sweet Italian sausage, grapes, and pearl onions. This is a great low carb recipe. 

If you’ve never had roasted grapes, you are really missing out on something special. Especially when they are roasted and then finished with balsamic vinegar. I’m pretty sure you are actually drooling at this point because I know I am (insert wink).

easy make-ahead recipe

This dish can be partially made ahead of time by pre-cooking the sausage. You can even cook the sausages a day or two ahead of time and keep them in the refrigerator. It makes for an easy Sunday prep.  

Making roasted sausage and grapes

I start out by melting butter and adding the herbs, the onions, and grapes. I cook them on the stove-top just until the grapes and onions are covered in melted butter.

Next, I add the sausages and put the skillet in the oven. The sausages brown in the oven while the grapes and onions release their sweet flavors while cooking.

When I’m ready to serve it, I top it all of with a couple of tablespoons of balsamic vinegar. This recipe is definitely worth a try.

krazy kitchen mom tips

1. I used both green and red grapes for this recipe. However, I think the red grapes had a sweeter and more robust taste than the green grapes which kind of lost their flavor. You can certainly try both and choose for yourself. 
2. If you have a cast-iron skillet, I highly recommend using it for this recipe because it gets really hot and holds the heat. If you don’t have a cast-iron skillet, you can use any skillet that is oven proof – meaning that it doesn’t have plastic handles. 
3. If your skillet does have plastic handles, you can still use it in the oven. Simply wrap the handle in two layers of aluminum foil.
