Equipment

sheet pan

Ingredients

1 or more packages Applegate Farms Breakfast Sausages any variety (I have linked to the Chicken & Maple Flavor ^^^, but see the main article to read more about each flavor. Most of them are very good.); this amount of oil will work for up to 6 packages of link sausages (when feeding a crowd)
1 Tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil (other natural fats are fine, too)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350℉.
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.

Notes

Special Notes:

The Chicken and Apple flavor burns more easily. This variety starts out darker (still frozen), and it will blacken if baked for too long. The cooking time for this flavor is shorter:
- Bake 2 to 5 minutes less time overall with this flavor.
Bake Applegate Farms breakfast sausage patties for a shorter time. Otherwise, they dry out:
- Bake 2 to 5 minutes less time overall with this shape.

The following nutritional data is for the Chicken and Sage flavor, which is fine for Keto.

Two of their flavors have sugar or honey and should be avoided for low carb and no sugar diets: Chicken & Maple and Chicken & Apple (lightly sweetened with honey only).
