Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Pat the sausage links dry with paper towels to ensure even browning.
  2. Place the sausages on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast until browned and cooked through, 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through.
  3. Alternatively, cook the sausages in a large pan over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 15-20 minutes.
  4. Let rest for 2 minutes before serving. Slice or serve whole as desired.

Recipe Tips

For extra flavor, add a splash of olive oil to the pan before cooking.

If using a baking sheet, line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Let the sausages rest after cooking to retain their juices.

FAQ

Can I grill these Italian sausages instead of roasting?

Yes! Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and cook the sausages for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through.

How do I know when the sausages are fully cooked?

The sausages are done when they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) and are no longer pink in the center.

Can I freeze cooked Italian sausage?

Absolutely. Let the sausages cool completely, then store them in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.
