Instructions

  1. Pat the sausage dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. For oven roasting: Place sausages on a baking sheet and roast at 450°F until browned and cooked through, 15-20 minutes.
  3. For pan searing: Cook sausages in a large pan over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 15-20 minutes.

Recipe Tips

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

Let sausages rest 2 minutes before slicing to retain juices.

Pair with sautéed peppers and onions for a classic combo.

FAQ

Can I grill these Italian sausages instead of oven-roasting?

Yes! Grill over medium heat, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 15-20 minutes.

How do I know when the sausages are fully cooked?

Use an instant-read thermometer; the internal temperature should reach 160°F. Alternatively, cut into one-no pink should remain.

Can I freeze cooked sausages?

Absolutely. Cool completely, then store in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months. Reheat in a skillet or oven.
