1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp sea salt, ½ tsp cracked black pepper

Method

Preheat your air fryer to 200°C.

Toss the baby potatoes with the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt and black pepper.

Place the potatoes into the air fryer basket and cook for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, whisk together the maple syrup, wholegrain mustard, melted butter, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar and smoked paprika.

Add the apple wedges and onion to the basket with the potatoes.

Lay the ham steaks over the vegetables.

Brush the ham generously with half of the maple mustard glaze.

Air fry for 10 minutes.

Turn the ham steaks, brush with the remaining glaze and continue cooking for 6–8 minutes, until the glaze is sticky, the ham is lightly caramelised and the potatoes are beautifully crisp.

Finish with fresh thyme and a little cracked black pepper.

Serve immediately with your favourite Thanksgiving sides.

Lad Tip: Ham is already cooked, so you're not trying to cook it from scratch—you're building flavour. Keep brushing on the glaze during the final few minutes and let it caramelise into those deep golden edges. That's where the proper Thanksgiving magic happens.
