How To Make Honey Glazed Baked Ham In Air Fryer

To make Honey Glazed Baked Ham in the Air Fryer, follow these simple steps:

Add the honey and brown sugar to a small saucepan and bring to a slow simmer. Constantly stir so that the sugar dissolves in the honey.

Place the ham in a foil package, and then pour half the sauce over it. Set the ham in the air fryer for 20 minutes at 310 degrees F, air fryer setting. Then add the rest of the glaze on top and air fry for another 15-20 minutes.

Pro Tips

• Choose the Right Size Ham: Ensure your ham fits comfortably in the air fryer basket without overcrowding to allow for proper air circulation and even cooking.
• Precook the Ham: If using a fully cooked ham, it’s best to warm it up in the air fryer rather than cook it from raw. This ensures the ham stays moist and tender without drying out.
• Score the Surface: Score the surface of the ham with shallow cuts in a diamond pattern to allow the glaze to penetrate and infuse flavor throughout.
• Use Quality Ingredients: Opt for high-quality honey, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard to create a flavorful glaze that caramelizes beautifully on the ham.
• Baste and Rotate: Baste the ham with the glaze periodically during cooking to keep it moist and flavorful. Additionally, rotate the ham halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
• Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the ham, ensuring it reaches at least 140°F (60°C) for fully cooked hams or 145°F (63°C) for partially cooked hams.
• Let it Rest: Allow the ham to rest a few minutes after cooking before slicing. This redistributes the juices, resulting in a more tender and flavorful ham.

With these pro tips, you’ll achieve a perfectly glazed and flavorful ham in the air fryer, perfect for any occasion. Adjust cooking times and temperatures as needed based on the size and type of ham you’re using.
