There are nights when I want something warm and comforting but do not have the energy to juggle multiple pots. This Sheet Pan Ham Dinner has become my answer. Everything roasts on one pan, the kitchen fills with the sweet aroma of honey and rosemary, and dinner feels special without taking over the whole evening.

I love how the potatoes crisp on the bottom while the ham turns glossy under that golden honey mustard glaze. The green beans soak up all the flavor around them, staying tender with just enough bite. It is the kind of easy dinner that looks like you tried much harder than you did. Let's get it into your oven.
Ingredients
For the potatoes
- 1 ½ pounds baby yellow potatoes, sliced in half
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
The ham
- ¼ cup honey
- 3 tablespoons whole grain mustard
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 16 ounces fully cooked ham steaks, about 6 or 7 pieces
The green beans
- 1 pound green beans, trimmed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, plus extra to taste
- ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper, plus extra to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease a large rimmed sheet pan with cooking spray or a thin layer of olive oil.
- In a medium bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, minced garlic, and chopped rosemary. Coat them well so they roast evenly.
- Arrange the potatoes cut side down on the sheet pan. Roast for 20 minutes until the bottoms begin to turn golden.
- While the potatoes cook, whisk together the honey, whole grain mustard, apple cider vinegar, rosemary, and garlic powder. The mixture should look glossy and smell sweet and tangy.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Push the potatoes to one side. Place the ham steaks on the open space in slightly overlapping layers. Brush the ham evenly with the honey mustard glaze.
- Add the green beans to the remaining space on the pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to coat.
- Return the pan to the oven. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes until the potatoes are tender, the ham is warmed through, and the green beans are bright with a few caramelized spots.
- Taste a potato and a green bean. Add a pinch more salt or pepper if needed. Sprinkle with parsley before serving.
Tips for Success
Top Tip
- Dry your potatoes first
If the potatoes are damp, pat them dry before tossing with oil. This helps them crisp instead of steam. - Keep everything in a single layer
Crowding leads to steaming. If your sheet pan feels packed, divide between two pans so the edges can caramelize. - Watch the glaze near the end
Honey can darken quickly. If the ham starts to brown a bit too fast for your liking, slide the pan to a lower oven rack for the last few minutes.
Storage and Reheating
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheat on a sheet pan at 350 degrees F for 10 to 12 minutes so the vegetables stay crisp.
- You can microwave leftovers for a quick meal, but the texture will be softer.
Make Ahead
You can prep the potatoes, glaze, and green beans earlier in the day. Keep each component covered in the refrigerator. When ready to cook, assemble everything on the sheet pan and follow the roasting directions. This is especially helpful if you want dinner ready shortly after coming home.
Variations
- Swap the green beans for broccoli florets or carrot slices.
- Use Dijon mustard if whole grain mustard is not available.
- Try thyme instead of rosemary for a softer, earthy flavor.
- Add a sprinkle of brown sugar over the ham before roasting for a more classic holiday sweetness.
- Finish with a squeeze of lemon over the green beans for brightness.
FAQS
Yes. Baby red potatoes or small Yukon gold potatoes work well. Just cut them into similar sizes so they roast evenly.
Absolutely. Use two sheet pans so the ingredients still have room to brown. Rotate the pans halfway through roasting for even cooking.
No. Leaving everything uncovered allows the edges to crisp and the glaze to thicken.
It works very well for meal prep. The potatoes keep their texture nicely, and the ham tastes even better the next day.
