How to Make Super Easy Baking Sausage

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a 10x15 inch jelly roll pan (or the bottom of a broiler pan) with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze!
Arrange 3 pounds of maple breakfast sausage links in a single layer on the prepared pan. Make sure they aren't overcrowded; you may need to use two pans if necessary.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the sausage is golden brown and cooked through. Internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
Once cooled, separate the sausage into individual servings (approximately 4-6 links per serving, depending on size) and store in freezer-safe bags or containers. Freeze for up to 3 months.
