Oven-Baked Smoked Sausages
Ingredients
- 28 oz half-raw smoked sausage (Polish Kielbasa sausage, chorizo, or similar sausage type)
Instructions
- take a sharp knife and make cuts lengthwise so that the cut ends at the middle of the sausage, in other words, slice the sausage half-way.
- make cuts about half a finger’s distance from one notch to the other.
- put sausages on a tray coated with baking paper.
- place the tray in the oven and start the broiler for about 10-15 minutes to roast the sausage or set the oven at the highest temperature (550 Fahrenheit or 290 Celsius) for about 25-30 minutes to bake the sausage.
- flip the sausages one or two times to roast them evenly.
- the oven-roasted or oven-baked sausages are ready when their skin is golden brown, when you should remove them from the oven and serve them as desired.
Notes
Cooking Tips for the Best Results
- Choose high-quality smoked sausage: The quality of your smoked sausage can make or break this recipe. Choose a sausage that is made with good-quality ingredients and has a good balance of smoky flavor and seasoning.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the sausage has reached a safe internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) before serving.
- Score the sausage before baking: Scoring the sausage in a few places before baking will help the fat to render out, which will result in a crispier skin and a more even cook.
- Even if you bake the sausage, if you prefer a crispier skin, you can broil it on high for 2-3 minutes at the end of the cooking time.
- Keep an eye on the sausage during baking: Cooking times can vary depending on the size and type of sausage you’re using, so it’s important to keep an eye on it while it’s baking. Check it periodically and adjust the cooking time as needed to ensure that it cooks evenly and doesn’t become overcooked or dry.
