Print Recipe

An effortless and flavorful holiday dinner recipe featuring juicy spiral ham with a sticky-sweet honey mustard glaze and perfectly roasted asparagus all cooked on one sheet pan.

Ingredients

  • Bone-in spiral ham (about 6 to 8 pounds) – precooked, store-bought
  • Honey (3 tablespoons)
  • Dijon mustard (2 tablespoons)
  • Whole grain mustard (1 tablespoon) – optional
  • Brown sugar (2 tablespoons)
  • Apple cider vinegar (1 tablespoon)
  • Garlic powder (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Black pepper (freshly ground, to taste)
  • Fresh asparagus (1 pound) – trimmed, ends snapped off
  • Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
  • Salt – to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line your sheet pan with foil for easier cleanup.
  2. Remove the ham from packaging and pat dry with paper towels. Place the ham flat side down on the sheet pan.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and freshly ground black pepper to taste until smooth and sticky.
  4. Using a sharp knife, make shallow diagonal cuts about 1/4 inch deep in a diamond pattern on the ham’s surface.
  5. Generously brush the honey mustard glaze all over the ham, working it into the scored cuts.
  6. Loosely cover the ham with foil to prevent excessive browning while it roasts.
  7. Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast the ham for about 45 minutes.
  8. While the ham roasts, toss trimmed asparagus with olive oil and salt. Set aside.
  9. After 45 minutes, remove foil from the ham and brush another layer of glaze on top. Arrange the asparagus around the ham on the sheet pan.
  10. Return to oven and roast uncovered for another 15 minutes, or until the ham’s glaze is caramelized and asparagus is tender but still crisp.
  11. Remove from oven and tent loosely with foil again. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  12. Slice the ham and plate alongside the roasted asparagus. Drizzle any pan juices over the top for extra flavor.

Notes

For best results, pick a spiral ham with a nice layer of fat to keep the meat juicy. Use thicker asparagus stalks for a tender-crisp bite. You can broil for 2-3 minutes at the end for extra caramelization but watch carefully to avoid burning. Resting the ham after roasting keeps it juicy. Leftover ham and asparagus should be stored separately and reheated gently.
