Oven Baked Brats
Enjoy these deliciously oven-baked brats paired with vibrant bell peppers and onions, creating a simple yet satisfying meal perfect for any day.
Equipment
- baking sheet or cast iron skillet
Ingredients
- 5 uncooked bratwurst (standard size package)
- 1-2 bell peppers sliced
- 1 onion sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or garlic salt)
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F.
For Brats:
- Spread the bratwurst evenly on a baking sheet or in a cast-iron skillet, ensuring they have enough space between them.
- Bake the bratwurst for about 10 minutes, then flip them using tongs or a spatula.
- Continue baking for another 8-10 minutes until the internal temperature of the brats hits 160°F, checking with a meat thermometer.
- For a crispy finish, broil the bratwursts for 1-2 minutes, keeping them about 4 inches away from the heat source.
For Veggies:
- On a separate baking sheet, combine the sliced bell peppers and onion. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and stir to ensure even coverage.
- After flipping the bratwurst, mix the veggies around on the pan.
- Cook the sausages until they are nicely browned, which may take around 20-25 minutes, especially if there are multiple veggies on the pan.
