Ah, baked sausage ðŸŒðŸ”¥â€”simple, hands-off, and full of flavor. Baking sausage keeps it juicy without needing to fry, and it pairs perfectly with veggies, pasta, or on its own.
Baked Sausage
Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 1 lb sausages (pork, chicken, or your favorite type)
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil (optional, for extra browning)
- Optional: sliced onions, bell peppers, or potatoes for a sheet-pan meal
Instructions
- Preheat oven
- 400°F (200°C)
- Prepare the sausages
- Place sausages on a baking sheet.
- Optional: toss with olive oil or veggies.
- Bake
- Bake 20–25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until sausages are cooked through (internal temp 160°F / 71°C for pork or 165°F / 74°C for chicken).
- Serve
- Slice or serve whole with mustard, bread, or roasted veggies.
Tips
- For extra flavor, poke a few tiny holes in the sausages so fat escapes, but don’t overdo it—keeps them juicy.
- Use a rimmed baking sheet to catch any drippings if adding veggies.
- For a crispy skin, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end.
I can also give you a sheet-pan sausage dinner with potatoes and peppers or a cheesy baked sausage casserole if you want a full meal version.
Do you want me to do that?
