Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss 2 cups of sauerkraut with 1 tsp caraway seeds, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp salt in a large bowl until evenly combined.
Step 2: On a large rimmed baking sheet, spread the sauerkraut mixture evenly. Place 6 bratwurst sausages spaced evenly on top, then scatter 1 large sliced yellow onion (thin rings) over everything.
Step 3: Drizzle 2 tbsp olive oil over the bratwurst and onions. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning the sausages halfway through, until the bratwurst are browned and cooked through and onions are caramelized.
Step 4: Remove from oven and serve immediately with 1/4 cup Dijon mustard on the side for dipping.
