Bratwurst Sheet Pan Dinner

There was the adorable little village, Helen, in the foothill mountains in Georgia that my family visited several times a year. As a family we loved the hiking trails, but we also very much enjoyed the German food!

There was this little restaurant that served glazed baked brats with braised cabbage, and that was what inspired this easy recipe for Baked Brats.

Bratwurst, baby potatoes, onions and cabbage are roasted together with a maple mustard vinaigrette. It is the perfect way to bring German flavors weeknight cuisine.

The cabbage and potatoes are crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. Everything is a bit caramelized from the maple in the dressing. This dish is sweet and savory. And again, ONE PAN!!

How to Bake Brats in Oven

Step One: Boil Bratwurst

I first boiled my Bratwurst in beer to give the sausage more flavor. You can skip this step if you want, but it is a great trick to infuse the bratwurst with a delicious hoppy flavor from the beer.

Step Two: Prepare Cabbage and Potatoes

• Slice one large head of cabbage into 8 wedges.
• Wash and dry baby potatoes
• Slice one onion.
• Add the brats to a sheet pan with baby potatoes, sliced onions, and wedges of cabbage.

Step Three: Prepare the Maple Mustard Glaze

• Whisk together maple syrup, brown mustard and olive oil together.
• Drizzle over veggies and sausage and toss to coat.

Step Four: Roast the Sausage and Cabbage

And then roast. And let the magic happen. All on one pan. Dinner Done.

Notes on Bratwurst and Cabbage

• This is the perfect one pan meal for Octoberfest.
• If you want this dish to remain Gluten-Free, do NOT boil your bratwurst in beer prior to roasting.
• You can use any type of Bratwurst you like–Turkey, Chicken, Beef, or Pork.
• If you don’t have new potatoes, use red potatoes or even russet potatoes, cut into fourths.
