Cooking brats in the oven is a convenient cooking method to use when a craving for beer-soaked sausages hits! This hands-off approach leaves you with plump, juicy bratwurst every time. Watch the video below to see how I make it in my kitchen.
Place sausages in a deep baking dish and pour beer over them. Let them marinate for 6 hours in a fridge.
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Drain the sausages and discard the beer.
Place the sausages on the lined sheet and bake for 20 minutes, flip and bake for another 15 minutes.
Serve the sausages in the hot dog buns with sauerkraut, sliced pickles, and ketchup.
