Kitchen Equipment Needed

• Parchment paper or aluminum foil
• Measuring spoons
• Tongs or spatula
• Knife and cutting board (optional, for slicing sausages)

Ingredients Overview

• Sausages: Choose your favorite sausages, such as pork, chicken, or turkey sausages.
• BBQ sauce: A good-quality BBQ sauce adds sweetness, tang, and flavor to the sausages.
• Optional toppings: You can add onions, peppers, or cheese to customize the dish to your liking.

Ingredients

• 4-6 sausages (pork, chicken, turkey, or your choice)
• 1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite variety)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for extra flavor and moisture)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Optional: Sliced onions and bell peppers for added flavor

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven
   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Sausages
   Place the sausages on the prepared baking sheet. If you like, you can slice the sausages into smaller pieces for easier serving or leave them whole. Drizzle with a little olive oil if you’d like them to have a bit more moisture while baking.
3. Coat with BBQ Sauce
   Brush the sausages generously with your favorite BBQ sauce, making sure each one is coated well. If you’d like to add onions or bell peppers, scatter them around the sausages on the baking sheet.
4. Bake the Sausages
   Bake the sausages in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are cooked through and golden brown on the outside. Halfway through the baking, you can brush the sausages with additional BBQ sauce for an extra layer of flavor.
5. Serve
   Once baked, remove the sausages from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Pair them with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or roasted vegetables.
