Roasted Sausage With Grapes & Onions

Sometimes I have crazy busy afternoons and don’t have any time to Naptime Chef. Those days can be tough, but that’s OK because I always have few things up my sleeve to make if I don’t cook in the afternoon. One of these favorites I made just the other day, Roasted Sausage with Grapes & Onions. Cooking it is straightforward and it tastes delicious. It is just the thing for a great meal in a snap. —

Roasted Sausage with Grapes and Onion

4 links homemade sweet pork sausage (I have used chicken sausage in a pinch, as well)

3/4 – 1lb seedless organic red grapes

1 red onion, preferably organic, finely sliced

2 T. olive oil

1 T. balsamic vinegar

Salt & Pepper to taste

1. Preheat the oven to 475 degrees.

2. Cook the sausages in a skillet until cooked through. Do not wash skillet, you will use it later.

3. Wash and dry the grapes, toss them with the olive oil and place them in a 13×9 pan so that they fully cover the bottom in one layer.

4. Finely slice the red onion and scatter it among the grapes in the pan.

5. Lay the sausages on top of the grapes and onions.

6. Roast at 475 degrees F for 20-25 minutes, turning sausages once halfway through.

7. After roasting remove sausages and put them on serving plates.

8. Pour grapes and onions back into the skillet that the sausage was cooked in. Stir the grapes and onions until the juices start to thicken up and get syrupy. Add a dash of salt and pepper to taste.

9. When the grape juices are syrupy add the balsamic vinegar and give it a swirl to incorporate, pour the mixture over the sausages and serve.
