how to make Easy Easter Dinner on a Sheet Pan
Ingredients :
- 1 pound baby potatoes (cut in half)
- 1/2 pound green beans (trimmed)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 quartered boneless ham (sliced)
- 1 (20-ounce) can sliced pineapple, drained
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Directions :
- Preheat your oven to 450°F. Spray a sheet pan with nonstick spray.
- Place the potatoes on 1/3 of the pan and the green beans right next to them in the middle.
- Drizzle the potatoes and green beans with olive oil, garlic, thyme, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir the potatoes and then the green beans so they get coated evenly but remain separate.
- On the last third of the pan, lay down pieces of ham and then pineapple alternately until all the ham is used. If your ham is thinly sliced, you can double up on the layers.
- In a small saucepan, mix together the honey, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard. Bring this mix to a simmer over medium-high heat.
- Brush the honey glaze over the ham and pineapple.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
