Ingredients

6 Bratwurst

Instructions

Heat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment for easy cleanup.
Place bratwursts on the sheet, spacing them apart (don't overcrowd).
Cook for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through. Optional: Broil for 2–3 minutes if you want the skins extra brown. Check for doneness. Internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
Eat as is, or add buns and toppings if you like.

Notes

Use fresh, uncooked bratwurst for the juiciest results. Pre-cooked brats work but won’t crisp up the same way.

Store leftovers in an airtight container: 3–4 days in the fridge or freeze up to 2 months.

Reheat gently in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes to keep brats juicy.

Want extra flavour? Brush with a little beer or melted butter before baking for a subtle boost.
