We love ham in my household. I make it yearly for Easter and Christmas, and have tried just about every way of making ham, including your traditional honey-glaze baked ham recipe to Instant Pot ham with maple brown sugar glaze (both are amazing!).

So I thought, why not try making ham in the air fryer? And let me tell you, that was a great idea! Air fryer ham has a perfectly crispy, sticky skin, and will save you time and space in your oven so you can get all of your holiday cooking done without any hassle.

Air Fryer Ham Recipe Ingredients

5 pound ham
1/3 cup honey
2 Tbsp. sriracha
1/2 stick butter, melted
1 tsp. garlic powder
2 green onions, sliced

A 5 pound ham will feed anywhere from 8 to 10 people, so this easy ham recipe is perfect for a holiday meal or even a family Sunday dinner with enough for leftovers.

Aside from the ham itself, all you will need are the ham glaze ingredients to make your sriracha glaze.

This is easily one of my favorite glazes for ham – the flavor combo of honey sriracha is incredible! You really have to taste it to know what I mean.

You could use this easy ham glaze recipe to make some pretty amazing chicken wings, too.

How to Cook Ham in Air Fryer

Combine 1/3 cup honey, 2 Tbsp. sriracha, 1/2 stick melted butter, 1 tsp. garlic powder, and 2 sliced green onions in a bowl and mix well.
Score your 5 pound ham by making shallow, even cuts across the top in one direction, and then again in the opposite direction.
Lay the ham on top of a sheet of foil large enough to wrap around it entirely.

Brush on about 1/3 of your honey ham glaze using a spatula or silicone basting brush. Make sure not to use all of the glaze – you will need it again.

Cover the ham entirely with the foil. Place in the air fryer and cook at 300°F for 20 minutes.
Once 20 minutes is up, unwrap the ham and brush on another 1/3 of your honey ham glaze.

Wrap the ham in foil again, and cook for another 20 minutes.
After the final 20 minutes is up, remove the foil from the top of your ham.

Brush the remaining glaze on top of your ham. Then, fold the top of the foil into an edge around the ham.

Cook at 360°F, uncovered, for 5 minutes. This will caramelize the outside and give it that crispy, sticky skin that makes it so irresistible!
Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Easy, right? Cooking ham in the air fryer is so straightforward, and let me tell you, the results are amazing. I can’t get enough of this air fryer ham! The spicy-sweet honey sriracha glaze gives it so much flavor.

What to Serve with Ham

As a bonus, cooking a ham in air fryer recipe means your oven is free to whip up a batch of creamy mashed potatoes or baked creamed corn casserole as a side dish.

And don’t forget the Instant Pot! You can use that to make Avocado deviled eggs, which are so tasty alongside this easy ham recipe.

Of course, carrots make one of the best side dishes for ham. I enjoy this easy fried ham recipe most with candied carrots, but two of my other favorites are Parmesan Garlic Roasted Carrots and Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots. Both complement the ham so well!

While you’re using your air fryer, another great choice as a side dish for ham is air fryer asparagus fries. These tasty, crispy asparagus fries with a lemon aioli dip are too good to be true!

Leftover Ham Dinner Recipes

While the leftovers from this ham dinner recipe are so delicious just heated up with your favorite sides, you can also use your ham leftovers for other recipes!

Try my favorite Pink Pasta Recipe with diced ham, or use slices of ham in Eggs Benedict with homemade hollandaise sauce.

You can also use ham on pizza – my favorite is breakfast pizza! These Hawaiian Pizza Sliders are great for leftover ham, too.

Ham pastries are another tasty way to use up your leftover ham. How about some Spinach Puff Pastries with diced ham, or as a replacement for prosciutto in Prosciutto Pinwheels?
