Simple preparation yields big results in flavor and presentation with this game day roasted sausage board. This recipe is part of a series where we asked our friend Chef Kevin Hermann to create game day recipes. What he came up with is a menu even non-fans will love!
Picking the Right Sausage for Your Roasted Sausage Board
Creating a delicious roasted sausage board is all about variety and balance. Choose sausages with different flavor profiles. Include sweet, spicy, smoky, and savory options. This keeps things interesting and caters to diverse palates. You can also incorporate both cured (like salami and pepperoni) and fresh sausages (like Italian or breakfast sausage). It’s also an opportunity to explore different cuisines. You can use Italian (like sausage or soppressata), Spanish (like chorizo), German (like bratwurst or knockwurst), and even Middle Eastern options (like merguez) to add unique roasted sausage flavors.
