Oven-Roasted Sausages with Onions (Easy Tray Bake)
Serves: 3–4
Time: ~45 minutes
Ingredients
8–10 sausages (pork, beef, chicken, or turkey)
4–5 large onions, peeled and cut into wedges
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp paprika (sweet or smoked)
1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary
Optional: 2 cloves garlic (sliced), 1 tsp mustard, splash of balsamic or vinegar
Instructions
Preheat oven to 200°C / 400°F.
Prepare onions: Toss onion wedges with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and herbs in a large baking tray.
Add sausages: Nestle sausages among the onions. (Optional: prick sausages lightly so fat renders.)
Roast for 20 minutes, then turn sausages and stir onions.
Finish roasting another 20–25 minutes until sausages are deeply browned and onions are soft and caramelized.
Optional final 5 minutes: drizzle a little balsamic or add mustard dots for extra flavor.

Tips
For extra caramelization, spread everything in a single layer (don’t overcrowd).
If onions brown too fast, cover loosely with foil and uncover for the last 10 minutes.
