Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Make sure your oven rack is in the center position.

Step 2

Cover your baking sheet with tin foil. (A casserole dish or baking pan also works well.)

Step 3

Place the bratwurst on the baking sheet, allowing plenty of space in between.

Step 4

Bake the bratwurst on one side for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Flip the brats and cook on the other side for 5 to 7 minutes (until browned).

Step 6

Quick Note: If you're cooking the brats with other veggies in the pan, they'll need 20 to 25 minutes. When cooked by themselves, the bratwurst cook in just 15 minutes.
