I’ve since made this recipe almost monthly during cooler months. Love that I can make this for two or for six people and it’s done within 30 minutes.

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

I don’t like rosemary. Can I substitute something else?

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.

What can I substitute for the green beans?

Asparagus would work very well here.

How can I store the leftovers?

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.

Recipe

Yield: 4 servings
Prep: 20 minutes
Cook: 25 minutes
Total: 45 minutes

Ingredients

2 tablespoons apricot preserves

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

½ teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

3 (8-ounce) ham steaks

6 small to medium sweet potatoes

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed

1 ½ cups mini marshmallows

½ cup candied pecans, chopped

1 pound green beans, trimmed

1 ½ tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

Flaky Mile High Biscuits

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil two baking sheets or coat with nonstick spray.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together apricot preserves, Dijon, vinegar and rosemary; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
3. Place ham steaks onto one side of the prepared baking sheet, slightly overlapping. Brush evenly with apricot preserves mixture.
4. Pierce sweet potatoes with a fork; place into microwave for 8-10 minutes, or until tender. Cut the potatoes down the center lengthwise, top with butter, marshmallows and pecans.
5. Place sweet potatoes onto the opposite side of the ham steaks in a single layer.
6. Place green beans in a single layer onto the second prepared baking sheet. Add olive oil and garlic; season with salt and pepper to taste. Gently toss to combine.
7. Place into oven and bake until the marshmallows just start to brown and the green beans are tender, about 20-25 minutes. Add biscuits during the last 3-5 minutes of cooking time, if desired.
8. Serve immediately.
