FAQ
Since smoked sausage is already cooked, the oven-roasting process typically takes around 20-30 minutes, allowing the sausage to warm through and achieve your desired level of golden brown perfection.
Smoked sausage is typically fully cooked during the smoking process, making it safe to eat without further cooking, but reheating enhances its flavor and texture.
