To cook, you can grill or pan-fry the plant-based bratwurst. For grilling, preheat your grill to medium heat and cook the sausages for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until they are nicely browned and heated through. If pan-frying, heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning regularly to ensure even browning and thorough heating. Avoid overcrowding the pan. The sausages are ready when they have a pleasant sear and are warm throughout.
