The easiest ham dinner ever (sides included!). And everything is baked on 2 sheet pans in 45 min, start to finish!
Do you need a scaled down holiday dinner spread? Well, I have got you completely covered!
why make this on a sheet pan
- No stovetop cooking. We have everything we need with zero stovetop cooking. We’re talking glazed ham steaks, garlicky green beans and mini sweet potatoes stuffed with candied pecans + toasted mini marshmallows.
- Scaled down recipe. This recipe is catered to feed about 4 people, making it perfect (and so convenient) for a small-scaled holiday gathering without leaving you with a ton of leftovers to feed an army.
- Quick cooking. You’ll have a ham dinner with all the holiday fix-ins in less than 1 hour start to finish – 45 minutes to be exact.
- Easy clean-up. With two sheet pans, clean up will be an absolute breeze. Less clean up means more time for holiday cheer and pumpkin pie.
An added bonus is serving these with my favorite biscuits ever (I always keep them handy in the freezer). Throw these bad boys onto the green bean sheet pan the last few minutes of cooking time for a complete (and wonderful) holiday meal with the easiest clean-up ever.

Sheet Pan Holiday Dinner: Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! You can substitute thyme (dried or fresh!) or any other herb of your choosing. And because dried herbs are often more potent/concentrated than fresh herbs, you need less when using dry. The correct ratio is 1 tablespoon fresh herbs to 1 teaspoon dried herbs.
Asparagus would work very well here.
The leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for 1-2 days in the fridge, reheating at 350°F on a sheet pan lined with aluminum foil, covered, until warmed through.
