Air Fryer Honey Glazed Ham
When I first started using the air fryer back in 2016, people thought I was wild for tossing just about everything in there. Fast forward, and here I am showing you how to make a glazed ham that’s juicy, tender, and caramelized in all the right places. Growing up in a Southern kitchen, honey ham was always on the table for holidays, so I know exactly how it should taste. I’ve done the testing so you don’t have to, this recipe works, and it’s the one you’ll want to pull out for every holiday.

Equipment
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup honey
- ¼ cup brown sweetener Brown sugar can be used if preferred.
- ¼ 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 ¼ 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 ¼ 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.

Notes
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.
You can use spiral cut ham if preferred. Ensure that it fits your air fryer model.
