Equipment
- large cast iron skillet
Ingredients
- 5 German-style Bratwurst sausage links
- 2 large red onions, halved and cut into ¾” wedges
- 2 teaspoon brown sugar
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Arrange rack in top position.
- Toss onions in brown sugar, olive oil salt, pepper, and vinegar in a large bowl (or right in the cast iron skillet) until well coated.
- Spread into an even layer in a large cast iron skillet.
- Top with sausages and transfer to preheated oven.
- Roast for 15 minutes, then toss onions and flip sausages, and roast for another 15-25 minutes, until onions are slightly caramelized, and sausages are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees f with a meat thermometer inserted in the center of a bratwurst. Cooking time can vary a bit depending on your oven and the size of the brats, so be sure to check their temperature prior to serving.
- Allow Brats to rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow their juices to redistribute.
Notes
Store any leftover brats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
