Using fasterize in R to write a raster

I've been using the fasterize package lately to convert sf polygons to rasters:

https://cran.rstudio.com/web/packages/fasterize/fasterize.pdf

When I am dealing with large files, it would be better for me to write directly to disk instead of memory. So for example rather than doing this:

fasterize(polygon_file, raster_template, field = 'value')

I would do this:

fasterize(polygon_file, raster_template, field = 'value', file = 'output.tif')

This does not seem possible. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to do this?

Thanks.
