All About Cooking Roma Sausages
A staple of Italian charcuterie, Roma sausages stand out for their bold flavours, juicy texture and versatility in the kitchen. Whether you’re cooking mild or spicy Italian sausages, they’re a great source of protein that pairs perfectly with a variety of dishes: paninis, couscous, soups, pasta—or simply grilled on the BBQ!
But what’s the best way to cook sausages? Here are our go-to tips for perfect results every time, no matter your preferences or kitchen setup.
Cooking sausages in a skillet
Skillet cooking gives you sausages that are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. It also lets you boost the flavour by adding herbs or spices directly to the pan.
- Cook Roma sausages over low heat for about 15 minutes
- Turn them every 3 minutes for even cooking
Pro tip: Add a drizzle of olive oil, garlic or onions while cooking for extra flavour.
Cooking sausages in the oven
Simple and efficient, oven cooking is great when making a larger batch of Roma Italian sausages.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C)
- Place sausages on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper
- Bake for 15 to 25 minutes, turning them halfway through
Steaming (or boiling) sausages
Though less crispy, this method helps preserve moisture and tenderness, perfect for slow-cooked or flavourful recipes using Roma Italian sausages.
- Boil sausages in water, broth, beer or wine infused with herbs
- Cooking time: 10 minutes for pre-cooked sausages, 30 minutes for raw.
This is also a great way to tenderize sausages before grilling
Cooking sausages on the BBQ
The go-to method for grill lovers! Nothing beats the smoky aroma of Roma sausages cooked on the BBQ.
- Preheat your BBQ to medium heat
- Grill sausages for 5 to 10 minutes, turning regularly
Tip: For thicker sausages, try indirect heat to avoid burning the outside.
