Sheet Pan Burger and Fries
This sheet-pan burger and fries recipe is the simplest way to make burgers and fries in the oven! This version is gluten—and dairy-free.
My family has been on a burger with fries kick, and I’m all about it 😉 I love taking shortcuts with recipes like my bun-less burger bowls, but sometimes you just want the real deal. A burger and fries can take up so much prep space and dishes on their own, so I decided to combine them both on one sheet pan for the perfect shortcut!
This sheet pan burger and fries is the ultimate solution for a simple dinner made in the oven! No frying is necessary, no grill, and only one pan is used for the whole process.
Can you really cook burgers and fries in the oven at the same time?
Yes, you really can! The issue you can run into is that they need different cook times. The trick is to stagger it by starting with the fries first and adding the burgers after to ensure that the fries are perfectly crispy, and burgers that are still nice and juicy.

How to make sheet pan burger and fries
Here are the simple steps, with photos, to make this recipe. Find full instructions in the recipe card.
Step one. Slice the sweet potato in fries and add them to the baking sheet and top with avocado oil, salt and pepper and bake 20 minutes.
Step two. While the fries are in the oven, add the ground beef to a mixing bowl along with the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion flakes and fold together. Divide the ground beef and form into two burgers.
Step three. Scoot the fries over, leaving enough space for the burgers on one side of the sheet pan. Add the burgers and return to the oven.
Step four. Bake for another 18-20 minutes, flipping the burgers halfway, until the fries and crisp and the burgers are cooked through. Serve the burger and fries as a bowl, or a traditional burger and fries with a bun!
Michelle’s Tips & Tricks 🤓
- Use a meat thermometer. A meat thermometer is always the best way to ensure you burgers are perfectly cooked.
- Don’t overwork the meat. This is the secret to cooking juicy burgers every time! You only want to gently mix in the seasonings and then form the burgers rather than vigorously mixing as this can make for tough burgers.
- Don’t skip the parchment paper! The key to cooking this recipe well is using parchment paper to separate the burger and fries so the fat from the burger doesn’t make the fries too greasy. You can also use foil, but I always prefer parchment paper.
Recipe FAQS
