How to Cook Sausage in the Oven

Ready in 20 minutes

Makes 1 pound sausage

Ingredients

1 lb. sausage

Preparation Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°convection. Any oven temperature from 350° to 425° with or without convection will work, but you will need to adjust time and perhaps need a couple of minutes under a broiler at the end to brown up some.
2. Prepare a sheet pan baking tray with a coat of PAM cooking spray, aluminum foil, or parchment paper.
3. For breakfast sausage patties, make them ¾ inch thick, then dimple the patty center by about ¼ inch deep and ¾ inch diameter. This will prevent the puffing of the meat during cooking.
4. Spread sausage on the prepared baking pan, so they don't touch.
5. If cooking breakfast sausage patties, flip in 8 minutes. Links or round sausage should be rotated halfway through the estimated cooking time.
6. The cooking time for breakfast sausage is about 15 minutes, and for thicker sausage, about 25 minutes. Cook to an internal temp of 165°. You can do a few minutes under the broiler if you want more browning.
