Quick answer
How long do you bake Italian sausage in the oven?
Bake raw Italian sausage links at 400°F (200°C) for about 20 to 25 minutes, turning once halfway, until browned and 160°F (71°C) inside. At 375°F allow about 25 to 30 minutes; at 425°F about 18 to 22. Add sliced peppers and onions to the same sheet pan for a hands-off dinner.
