Notes
- Flipping Tip: Flip the brats only once to retain oven heat and help them brown evenly.
- Doneness: Brats may appear slightly pink inside even when fully cooked. This is normal and does not indicate undercooking.
- Cooking Method: Oven baked brats may look different inside than stovetop or simmered brats, which often appear gray.
- Beer Brats: This method also works for oven cooked beer brats.
- Brand Options: Both name brand and store brand bratwurst work well.
- Extra Browning: For deeper color, broil for 1 minute per side after baking, watching closely to prevent burning.
