I love this easy baked ham recipe because it’s everything a good dinner should be—simple, full of flavor, and stress-free.

Ingredients

- Vegetables: This recipe uses one small sweet potato (peeled and chopped) and a handful of broccoli florets. You can swap in carrots, Brussels sprouts, green beans, or cauliflower if you prefer. Aim for vegetables that roast well and are cut into similar-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Olive Oil, Kosher Salt, and Black Pepper: Used to lightly coat the vegetables so they roast evenly and get a little crisp around the edges. Just a pinch of salt and pepper is enough—no need to overdo it.
- Ham Steak: Use a fully cooked, 8-ounce ham steak. These are often found near the bacon in the meat section. Look for labels such as “fully cooked,” “cured,” or “hickory smoked.” This recipe will not work with an uncooked ham steak.
For the Glaze:
- Olive oil
- Garlic: Use 1 small clove grated or 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- Honey
- Dijon mustard
- Dried rosemary or Herbes de Provence
The glaze is a quick mix of pantry staples that gives the ham a lightly sweet, herby flavor. It’s brushed over the ham before baking and again halfway through.
How To Make A Ham Steak Sheet Pan Meal
These photos and instructions are here to help you visualize how to cook a ham steak in the oven. See the recipe box below for ingredient amounts and full recipe instructions.
- Preheat the oven and prepare the vegetables: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place chopped sweet potatoes and broccoli florets on a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper. Toss to coat and spread into a single layer.
- Roast the vegetables: Roast for 15 minutes to give them a head start.
- Make the glaze: In a small bowl, stir together olive oil, garlic powder (or grated garlic), honey, Dijon mustard, water, and rosemary. Add salt and pepper if you’d like, though I usually don’t find it necessary.
- Add the ham steak: Remove the pan from the oven. Move the vegetables to one side of the pan and place the ham steak on the other. If you’d like, slice the ham into two pieces for easier handling or serving. Brush the top with some of the glaze.
- Continue baking: Return the pan to the oven and bake for 7 minutes.
- Glaze and finish baking: Flip the ham and brush the glaze over the second side. Bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the ham steak reads 140°F (60°C).
Expert Tips
- Cut vegetables evenly: Aim for equal-sized pieces so everything roasts at the same rate. Smaller pieces cook faster and get crispier edges.
- Use a rimmed sheet pan: This helps keep the glaze and any juices from running off into your oven.
- Line your pan if you’d like easier cleanup: Use parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
What To Serve With Ham Steak
This meal is complete on its own, but here are a few simple sides that pair well with this tray bake dinner:
- Mac and Cheese: Creamy and rich, it complements the glazed ham.
- Sicilian Orange Salad: Light and refreshing with citrus and olives.
- White Rice: A neutral side that soaks up the glaze.
- German Potato Salad: Tangy and flavorful with a vinegar-based dressing.

Nutrition
The information shown is an estimate provided by an online nutrition calculator. It should not be considered a substitute for a professional nutritionist’s advice.
This recipe is high in carbs. Could the ham be baked without the glaze or could the glaze from the stovetop ham be used here since it is lower in carbs? Or could there be another glaze?
Yes, you can absolutely skip the glaze or use the one from our stovetop ham recipe instead—it’s a great lower-carb option and works just as well on the sheet pan.
Great recipe.
