Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to achieve a nice brown crust.
Step 2: Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Step 3: Arrange the sausage links on the prepared baking sheet, spaced apart for even cooking.
Step 4: Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping at 12 minutes for even browning if desired.
Step 5: Check for doneness with a meat thermometer; internal temperature should be 160°F (71°C) for pork/beef or 165°F (74°C) for turkey/chicken.
Step 6: Let the sausages rest for a few minutes before serving to retain their juices.

For a sweet twist, brush sausages with maple syrup during the last minutes of baking.
Adding fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme enhances flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
