Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the 5-pound fully cooked ham steak on a large rimmed sheet pan.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup honey, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, and 2 tablespoons brown sugar until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Brush the honey-mustard glaze liberally over the ham, coating all exposed surfaces.
  4. Step 4: In a separate bowl, toss 1 pound baby carrots with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper until evenly coated. Arrange the carrots around the ham on the sheet pan.
  5. Step 5: Roast in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, basting the ham with any glaze drippings halfway through cooking, until the ham is heated through and the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized.
  6. Step 6: Let the ham rest 10 minutes before slicing. Serve the ham slices with the roasted thyme carrots on the side.
