Ingredients

  • 5 uncooked bratwurst
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 1 bell pepper sliced
  • ½ tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • SERVE WITH: hoagie rolls sauerkraut, or your favorite toppings

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400F. Cover a rimmed baking sheet with foil (spray with cooking spray) or parchment paper.
  • Spread the onions and peppers on the baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat,
  • Season with salt and pepper, then spread the veggies evenly around the outer edges of the pan.
  • Arrange the bratwurst in the middle of the peppers and onions, leaving at least 1-inch between each sausage. 
  • Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Carefully flip the brats, stir the veggies a bit, then bake for another 20-25 minutes, until brats are browned to your liking.

Notes

  • IF NOT USING VEGGIES: only bake for 20 minutes total, flipping once halfway through the cook time.
  • FOR BROWNER BRATS: set the oven broiler to high and broil for 2-3 minutes. Cool slightly before serving as desired.
