Preheat the toaster oven: Set your toaster oven to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat.
Prepare the brats: If the brats are frozen, ensure they are fully thawed before cooking. Prick the sausages gently with a fork to prevent them from bursting while cooking.
Line the baking sheet: Cover the baking sheet or tray with aluminum foil to prevent sticking.
Arrange the brats: Place the brats on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each sausage for even cooking.
Cook the brats: Slide the baking sheet into the preheated toaster oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the brats are cooked through. Turn them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
Check for doneness: To confirm the brats are fully cooked, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should read 160°F (71°C).
Toast the buns (optional): If desired, lightly toast the buns in the toaster oven for a warm and slightly crispy texture.
Serve and enjoy: Remove the brats from the toaster oven using tongs, place them in the buns, and serve with your preferred toppings. Enjoy the deliciousness of perfectly cooked brats!
