Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Tip: Parchment paper saves you from scrubbing a greasy pan.
2

Prick sausages in a few places with a fork, then coat thinly with fat/oil.

Tip: Excess steam can escape through the holes, preventing the skin from bursting. Fat helps heat transfer.
3

Roast sausages for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through.

Tip: Turning ensures even browning.
4

If you want extra crispy skin, turn the oven up to 400°F (200°C) or use the broiler for the last 5 minutes.

Tip: Watch it, because it burns quickly under the broiler!
5

Serve fresh with mustard, bread, and pickles.

Recipe FAQ

Why did it burst?
It heated up too fast, and the steam inside tore the skin. Prick it, or start roasting at a lower temperature.
