Cooking ham in the air fryer is so easy and painless. If you have ever baked a precooked spiral ham in a convection oven, you are going to love the air fryer method!

You can even whip up country ham steaks by slicing the ham up prior to glazing and throw it in the air fryer.

What Type of Ham to Use

Look for a ham that’s fully cooked and around 3 to 4 pounds. A 5-pound ham would not fit in my air fryer without slicing it down some. The size ham you may want to use will vary based on the air fryer model you own.

If you don’t want the hassle of slicing up the ham, look for one that is pre-sliced. You can also decide if you want a bone-in ham or a boneless ham.

I find boneless hams to be more convenient, but with a bone-in ham, you can save the ham bone to make other meals like Instant Pot Split Pea Soup.

How Long to Cook Ham in the Air Fryer

I used a 4-pound ham and cooked it for a total of 40 minutes prior to applying the additional glaze to fully brown the ham. I recommend that you adjust your cook time to 10 minutes per pound, based on the size of your ham.

Air Fryer Temperature

Start with 300 degrees. To lock in the brown sugar, honey glaze use 400 degrees for 5 minutes.

What Size Air Fryer I Used

I use the Cosori Air Fryer, 5.8 quart, because I think it’s the best air fryer on the market. I love the size and it has amazing cook speed.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup brown sweetener Brown sugar can be used if preferred.
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 3-4 pound boneless fully cooked ham I used a smoked ham. You can also use a pre-sliced ham if desired. It eliminates the cutting process.

Instructions

  • Combine the honey, brown sweetener, and ground cloves in a saucepan on medium-high heat. Stir until the sweetener has dissolved and remove from heat.
  • If your ham comes with netting you can leave it on during the initial cooking process. Glaze the ham using a cooking brush with about 1/4 of the honey glaze mixture and wrap the hame tightly in foil.
  • Place the foil-wrapped ham on the air fryer basket. Air fry for 40 minutes on 300 degrees.
  • Open up the air fryer and remove the foil and the netting from around the ham. Glaze the ham again. (I had to warm the glaze for 15 seconds in the microwave). I like to reserve about 1/4 of the glaze mixture here to drizzle over the individual ham slices. Feel free to do what works best for you.
  • Air fry the ham for an additional 5 minutes on 400 degrees.
  • Remove the ham from the air fryer. Allow the ham to rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

This looks fantastic; however, I don’t want to put tin foil in my air fryer. What else can I do?

Made this for Easter and it was wonderful! So easy and nice to use the air fryer instead of heating up my over. Also, thank you for timing per pound changes :)

I haven't been able to get a bone in to fit. Use the same temperature and watch it.

Yum! This is such an easy way to make a “fancy” ham! We needed something for a summer lunch and this with a good salad was perfect. I also have to thank Brandi for the Cosori air fryer recommendation. I got it during Prime days and it’s so much better than my old antique air fryer. Thank you for sharing!!
