Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. In a bowl, mix together the ground pork, sage, salt, paprika, marjoram, pepper, onion powder, and thyme until everything is well combined. Shape the mixture into about 10 small patties and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet. Pop the tray into the oven and bake the patties for around 15 minutes. Then, flip each one over and continue cooking for another 10 minutes or so, until they’re nicely browned and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (74°C). Let them rest a minute before serving and enjoy!

Storage & leftovers
