Ingredients
As shared by Taste, start by preheating the oven to 200/220C. Then, line a baking dish with baking paper and place the sausages. Let it bake for 20-25 minutes until they become golden brown and cooked through, turning them once.

Each method of cooking has its own advantages, depending on the convenience, texture, and most importantly, the flavour wanted to achieve.
