Instructions

  1. Pat the sausage links dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. Place the sausages on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  3. Roast in a preheated 450°F oven until browned and cooked through, about 15-20 minutes. Alternatively, cook in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, also 15-20 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Recipe Tips

For extra crispiness, finish the sausages under the broiler for 1-2 minutes after roasting.

If using a skillet, avoid overcrowding to ensure even browning.

Let the sausages rest a few minutes after cooking to retain juices.

FAQ

Can I use these sausages in other dishes?

Absolutely! Slice them for pizza, pasta or sheet-pan dinners or form the meat into patties for breakfast sandwiches.

How do I know when the sausages are fully cooked?

The sausages are done when they are browned on the outside and reach an internal temperature of 160°F. A meat thermometer is the most reliable method.

Can I grill these sausages instead?

Yes, grilling over medium heat for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, works perfectly.
