Sweet, salty, and cozy—this three-ingredient bake leans into Washington fall flavors. Ham, yam, and jam caramelize together in the oven for a glossy glaze and tender, candy-like wedges. Weeknight-easy, company-worthy.
Details
Ingredients
- Ham (Kroger® Fully Cooked Boneless Half Ham) 12 oz, sliced into 4 steaks $3.99/lb (sale)
- Yam (Organic White Sweet Potatoes) 1 large (about 14–16 oz), cut into 1-inch wedges $2.79/lb
- Jam (your favorite fruit jam; apple, pear, or plum work great) 1/3 cup n/a
Instructions
- Prep: Heat oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan. Cut the yam into 1-inch wedges. Slice the ham into 4 even steaks. Warm the jam briefly in a small bowl so it’s spreadable.
- Roast: Spread the yam on the sheet pan and place in the oven for 15 minutes to start softening.
- Glaze: Pull the pan, nestle the ham among the yam, and brush ham and yam generously with jam.
- Finish: Return to the oven for 10–12 minutes until the ham is heated through and the jam is bubbling and lacquered, then switch to a 1–2 minute broil for light caramelization.
- Serve: Plate ham with jammy yam and spoon any pan glaze over the top.
Health notes: About 600–650 calories per serving. Balanced protein and complex carbs; moderate sugar from the jam; gluten-free.
