Sheet Pan Beer Brats with Veggies: Roasty, Juicy, and Glazed in Beer-Braised Goodness

These Sheet Pan Beer Brats with Veggies are smoky, malty, and downright weeknight heroic — bratwursts roasted with caramelized onions, hearty vegetables, and a quick beer-mustard glaze that pulls the whole tray together.

It’s a no-fuss, no-flip, full-flavor dinner that’s equally at home on a tailgate menu or a weeknight table with a cold pint.

Ingredients (Serves 4–6)

For the Sheet Pan

  • 5–6 uncooked bratwursts
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 3–4 medium potatoes (Yukon Gold or red), chopped
  • 2–3 carrots or parsnips, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1 tsp smoked paprika, garlic powder, or caraway seeds

For the Beer Glaze

  • ½ cup beer (amber ale, Vienna lager, Märzen — smooth and malty)
  • 1 tbsp Dijon or spicy brown mustard
  • 1 tbsp honey or brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vinegar (apple cider or white wine)
  • Optional: splash of Worcestershire or hot sauce

Instructions

Preheat & Prep

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Line a large sheet pan with parchment or foil for easier cleanup.
  • Toss chopped veggies and onions with oil, salt, pepper, and any optional spices. Spread out in a single layer. Nestle the bratwursts evenly among the vegetables.

Roast

  • Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping brats once halfway through, until veggies are golden and brats are browned and cooked through (internal temp 160°F).

Make the Glaze

  • While everything roasts, combine beer, mustard, honey, and vinegar in a small saucepan.
  • Simmer over medium heat 5–7 minutes until slightly reduced and syrupy. Season to taste.

Finish & Serve

  • Drizzle glaze over the brats and veggies during the last 5 minutes of roasting or spoon over just before serving.
  • Serve straight from the tray with crusty bread, mustard on the side, and a cold pint.

Serving Suggestions

Serve With

  • Toasted buns or beer bread
  • Sauerkraut or vinegar slaw
  • Grainy mustard, beer cheese sauce, or aioli

Make It a Board

  • Slice brats and serve tray-style with dipping sauces
  • Add roasted apples, pickles, or soft pretzels on the side
  • Set out different mustards and let people build their own brat board

Beer Pairing

In the Glaze

  • Amber ale, Märzen, or Vienna lager (malty and smooth)
  • Brown ale for deeper sweetness
  • Avoid IPAs — too bitter for the glaze and roast profile

In Your Glass

  • The same beer used in the glaze
  • Helles or cream ale for a crisp contrast
  • Dunkel or bock for a full malt pairing
  • Saison for a dry, herbal counterpoint
