Best Sheet Pan Ham Asparagus And Hasselback Potatoes Recipes

SHEET-PAN HAM, ASPARAGUS AND HASSELBACK POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Melt the butter with the garlic, thyme sprigs and a large pinch each of salt and pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat; remove from the heat and let sit 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the ham: Stir together the fig jam, brown sugar, mustard, vinegar and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves; set aside. Score lines in a crosshatch pattern, 1 inch apart, into the top and sides of the ham; loosely wrap in a large sheet of heavy-duty foil, pouring 1/4 cup water over the ham before sealing. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet.
• Make the potatoes: Cut a thin sliver from one long side of a potato so that it sits flat; position cut-side down between the handles of two wooden spoons. Using a sharp knife, make cuts in the potato 1/8 inch apart, stopping when your knife hits the spoon handles (do not cut all the way through). Repeat with the remaining potatoes. Arrange on the baking sheet with the ham, drizzle with half of the garlic butter and season generously with salt and pepper. Bake 40 minutes.
• Open the foil and brush the ham with two-thirds of the fig glaze (leave the foil open). Drizzle the potatoes with the remaining garlic butter. Bake until a thermometer inserted into the center of the ham reaches 145˚ F, the glaze is browned and the potatoes are very tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 30 to 40 more minutes.
• Make the asparagus: Toss the asparagus with the olive oil, shallot, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Brush the ham with the remaining glaze. Push the potatoes to one side of the baking sheet and sprinkle with the cheese. Spread the asparagus in the open space on the baking sheet. Continue baking until the ham glaze is sticky, the cheese on the potatoes is melted and the asparagus is tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Let the ham rest 10 minutes, then slice. Sprinkle the potatoes with the thyme leaves and chives. Serve with rolls.

SHEET-PAN CHEESY HASSELBACK HAM, POTATOES AND ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Spray 18x13-inch rimmed sheet pan with cooking spray. Place 12x10-inch piece of foil in center of pan.
• In large bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of the butter, the garlic and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Make 12 thin cuts in ham, leaving bottom 1/2 inch uncut. Place one halved slice of cheese in each cut. Brush ham all over with butter mixture. Place on foil in center of pan. Pull up all four sides of foil around ham. Cover ham tightly with another piece of foil. Roast 18 minutes.
• In same large bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of the butter, the salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add potatoes; toss to coat. Place potatoes skin sides down in single layer in pan around ham. Roast 26 to 30 minutes or until tender when pierced with knife. Remove from oven; stir.
• Add asparagus and remaining 1 tablespoon butter to same bowl, and toss to coat; arrange in single layer in pan next to potatoes. Roast 12 to 15 minutes longer or until ham is heated through (140°F), potatoes are browned and fork-tender, and asparagus is tender. Remove foil from top of ham, and drizzle with honey. Sprinkle chives over entire pan. Spoon juices from ham over ham slices when serving.
