The Culinary Ventures of Gavin and Haleigh Burgon
We, Gavin and Haleigh, thoroughly enjoy cooking together! We work as a pretty good team experimenting and attempting new things. However, as time has gone on, we cannot seem to remember what we’ve made, which dishes we loved, and where on earth we found the recipes, thus, we have decided that it is imperative that we compile the things we enjoy in one place: here, on our blog. We will try to take a picture of everything we make and are happy to share these recipes with anyone who would like to try them. Bon appétit!

Oven Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Oven Baked Sweet Potato Fries

(Serves 4) Note: Different ovens cook differently so you may need to increase time to reach desired doneness. For us, between 30-40 minutes usually makes them crispy enough. Also, turning them is an important step and even though it’s tempting, don’t skip it. Finally, these don’t save well, so eat them immediately.





1-1½ lbs. sweet potatoes (I usually just use two good sized ones)
¼ Cup olive oil
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon cinnamon

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Peel the sweet potatoes. Cut into strips that are about ½ inch wide on each side. (If you have a Bosch machine, there is a fry cutter blade attachment that works amazingly well).

Place the sweet potatoes into a resealable plastic bag. Add oil, salt, paprika and cinnamon. Seal the bag and shake well to thoroughly coat the fries. Spread the potatoes out onto the baking sheet in a single layer.

Cook for 30 minutes, turning every 10 minutes, until slightly browned. Transfer immediately to a paper towel lined plate and serve warm.
