How to Oven-Bake Applegate Farms Breakfast Sausages shares how to oven-bake these awesome breakfast staples. Instead of pan frying, which is messier, uses more fat and takes longer, cook up all you need on one handy sheet pan!
Lightly grease a baking sheet pan with olive oil or avocado oil. Add sausage links, or patties, trying to make sure they don't touch, or not much.Make sure that the pan size correlates to how many sausages you are cooking. A standard "half sheet" baking pan will hold 6 packages of sausage links. (If you're feeding a bigger crowd, fine to use two pans, and double the oil so you have enough to grease each one.)
Bake in preheated oven 13 to 15 minutes total. At about the 10 minute mark, shake the pan carefully to turn most of the link sausages, or remove the pan from the oven, and use two forks (or similar) to rotate/flip each sausage. Bake the additional 2 to 5 minutes until browned and sizzling.CHICKEN AND APPLE VARIETY: See Notes below for cooking time.SAUSAGE PATTIES: See Notes below for cooking time.NOTE: To create extra-brown crispy exteriors, do not shake the pan or rotate sausages quite as soon. Wait until the 12 minute mark before rotating. The bottom of each sausage (that's touching the oil and the pan) is what gets crispy first.

Jill on 2025-03-28 (5 stars): So silly that the package doesn’t give an oven option! So grateful that an internet search landed me here! We did put ours in while the oven was pre-heating and the result was perfectly cooked, delicious chicken and sage sausages. Thank you Megan!
Veronika on 2024-08-14 (5 stars): These sausages look amazing, I gotta try them asap! These are some great tips! I love making my sausages in the oven too, it's so much easier than stove top. Especially if you need to use oil and it splatters everywhere.
Dina on 2024-08-13 (5 stars): I love the way these turned out! They were so delicious baked in the oven. I can't wait to make them again.
Marie-Pierre Breton on 2024-08-13 (5 stars): I'm going to try the chicken maple and simple pork variation, looks yummy!
Ana on 2024-08-13 (5 stars): Oven-baking these Applegate Farms breakfast sausages makes mornings so much easier. They come out perfectly crispy and delicious every time!
Maggie on 2024-08-09 (5 stars): I love this post, thank you!! We also love buying this product, so it's nice to have an easier method. With a family of 6, there's a lot of rotating at the stove going on otherwise. I know you understand!
