Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage links or patties any amount of links or patties may be used
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F
  • Place sausages on a baking sheet. I like to line my baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup, but leaving it uncovered is fine too.
  • Bake in oven for 15-20 minutes, rotating the sausages once halfway through cooking time.
  • Check for doneness with an instant-read thermometer. Pork sausage should reach an internal temperature of 160°F. Insert the thermometer into the center of the thickest sausage to check the temperature.
  • Serve hot.

Notes

    • Use parchment paper for easier cleanup.
    • Leave a bit of space between sausages.
    • Use links or patties.
    • If using patties and you are not using parchment paper, lightly spray the baking sheet with a nonstick spray before adding the patties.
    • Turn, rotate or flip the sausage partway through cook time.
  •  
    • Cooking time will vary depending on the size of your sausages, the amount of sausages you are cooking and your oven.
    • You can cook any amount of sausage as long as it fits on the pan.
