What to pair with bratwurst?

Serve these bratwurst on a hot dog bun or hoagie or slice up the brats and enjoy without the bun for a lower carb version. I love serving these with pepperoncinis and dijonnaise sauce . For side dishes, try these Ground Beef Baked Beans , White Cheddar Mac and Cheese , Pulled Pork Coleslaw , or Cheesy Hashbrown Casserole .

How long to bake bratwurst in the oven?

It takes between 20-25 minutes at 400 degrees, but it's important to rely on temperature over time cooked, and they need to cook until 160 degrees internally.

Store the leftover bratwurst and peppers and onions in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place back on a cookie sheet in a 350 degree oven and cook until warmed (about 8-10 minutes).

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Grab a cookie sheet and place the peppers and onions on one half of it. Pour about 1/2 of the olive oil over the peppers and onions and top with salt. Toss with your hands to coat the entire surfaces of the veggies.
Add the bratwurst to the other half of the cookie sheet and brush each side with the remaining olive oil.
Place the cookie sheet on the rack towards the center of the oven. Bake for 10 minutes, then toss the veggies and flip the sausages. Bake for another 10-15 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and allow the food to cool for about 5 minutes before serving. The hot dog buns can be added to the oven to warm up as the brats are cooling. Serve the bratwurst topped with the peppers, onions, and all your favorite condiments.

Notes

Really coat the vegetables in the oil as this will protect them from burning.
Be careful when poking the internal thermometer into the sausage. Sometimes hot juices will shoot out.
