Ingredients

  • Shiny aluminum foil
  • A generous pound of ground pork
  • A sprinkle of aromatic rubbed sage
  • A pinch of fine salt
  • A touch of rich ground paprika
  • A hint of earthy ground marjoram
  • A dash of bold ground black pepper
  • A whisper of fragrant onion powder
  • A sprinkle of delicate dried thyme leaves

Step 1

To start creating these delicious pork patties, begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Grab a trusty rimmed baking sheet and line it with a sheet of shiny aluminum foil for easy cleanup later.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, add in your ground pork along with a medley of flavorful spices - sage, salt, paprika, marjoram, pepper, onion powder, and thyme. Combine everything together until the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the pork mixture. Get your hands in there and shape the seasoned pork into 10 small, mouthwatering patties. Gently place these patties onto the prepared baking sheet, giving them some space to cook up perfectly.

Step 3

Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and let these patties bake away for about 15 minutes. Once the timer dings, carefully flip each patty over and allow them to continue cooking until they reach an internal temperature of at least 160 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius). This should take around an additional 10 minutes, but keep an eye on them to ensure they are cooked to perfection.

Step 4

These savory pork patties are perfect for any meal of the day and can be enjoyed on their own or paired with your favorite sides. Experiment with different herbs and spices to make them your own signature dish!
