Line a sheet pan with foil or parchment paper (Notes 2, 3). Brush, spray, or rub the brats with oil. 10 bratwurst + 1-2 teaspoons vegetable oil Bake brats: Bake for about 15 minutes.

Check if they are done by cutting one in the middle; it should not be pink anymore. The inner temperature for pork sausages should be 150°F/ 65°C and for poultry sausages should be 160°F/ 70°C.

If they are not done yet, give them 5 more minutes and check again. The baking time greatly depends on the size of the sausages; smaller sausages might be done after 15 – 20 minutes already (Note 4).
