Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the sausages and cook, turning occasionally, until browned all over and cooked through, 8-12 minutes. (The sausages are fully cooked when the internal temperature reaches 160°F.)
  3. For an oven alternative: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place the sausages on a baking sheet and roast until browned and cooked through, 18-20 minutes.

Recipe Tips

For even browning, do not overcrowd the pan – cook in batches if necessary.

Let the sausages rest for a minute after cooking to allow juices to redistribute.

If using the oven method, line the baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

FAQ

Can I use a different type of oil?

Yes, any neutral cooking oil with a high smoke point, such as vegetable, canola or avocado oil, works well.

How do I know when the sausages are fully cooked?

The sausages are done when they are browned on all sides and the internal temperature reaches 160°F. Use an instant-read thermometer for accuracy.

Can I cook these sausages from frozen?

Yes, you can cook them from frozen. Increase the cooking time by a few minutes and ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
