How to Cook Brats in the Oven

Step 1

Since brats are raw and not smoked, they need to be cooked to 160F.  Simply preheat your oven to 400F.

Step 2

Place a piece of parchment paper on a rimmed sheet pan (rimmed to keep any juices from spilling over into your oven.)  Place the sausages on top of the parchment paper in a single layer, with the sides not touching.  TIP:  If you don't have parchment paper, spray the sheet pan with non-stick spray so the sausages won't stick.

Step 3

Bake for 15 minutes and then flip the sausage over and bake for another 10-15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160F on a food thermometer.  Turning them over halfway through cooking will ensure even cooking and a nice roasted appearance.
