Skip To RecipePrint Recipe

If you’re planning a small holiday dinner for Easter, you are going to love this easy sheet pan pineapple ham and veggies. The ham and pineapple are glazed in a sweet and tangy sauce, and all of it cooks together on a sheet pan. It’s easy to make and clean-up!

To be fair, you don’t have to wait until Easter to make this easy sheet pan dinner, but the combination of ham, potatoes, and green beans makes it the perfect dinner for the holiday if you’re not hosting a crowd.

Sheet Pan Easter Dinner

  • This is the perfect Easter ham dinner for four with a few slices of ham leftover so you still get those post-holiday sandwiches.
  • It’s super simple to make and all of it cooks one sheet pan in about 30 minutes.
  • The veggies are tossed in a garlicky olive oil with seasonings and the ham and pineapple are coated with a tangy-sweet glaze.
  • You don’t need to buy a gargantuan ham for this – it’s made with a sliced quarter ham for a scaled-down dinner.
  • And it’s a sheet pan dinner so, hello, easy clean-up.

I’m a fan of sheet pan dinner recipes, and making one for a holiday dinner is a dream if you’re trying to keep things simple. Simple is such a great thing.

all of the ingredients for the recipe.

Ingredients

  • Baby potatoes
  • Green beans
  • Olive oil
  • Minced garlic
  • Fresh thyme
  • Onion powder
  • Salt and pepper
  • Sliced quarter ham
  • Canned pineapple slices
  • Honey
  • Brown sugar
  • Apple cider vinegar
  • Dijon mustard

Assemble the Sheet Pan

Halve the potatoes and place them on the pan. Trim the green beans and place them on the sheet pan, too. Layer the slices of ham with the pineapple next to the green beans.

Season the Vegetables

In small bowl, combine:

  • Olive oil
  • Minced garlic
  • Fresh thyme
  • Onion powder
  • Salt and pepper

Pour it over the potatoes and green beans and lightly toss them so they are mostly coated.

sprinkling salt over the vegetables and ham.

Make the Glaze

In a small saucepan, combine:

  • Honey
  • Brown sugar
  • Apple cider vinegar
  • Dijon mustard

Bring it to a simmer and then brush it on the ham and pineapple.

Bake and Serve

Bake the ham and vegetables for about 30 minutes at 450°F or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Recipe Tips and Variations

The recipe, as written, is potato-heavy because tender roasted potatoes are so, so good. But, you can reduce the amount and add more green beans if you like – they will still cook in the same amount of time.

Feel free to pile on the ham, too, and layer a couple of slices with one pineapple ring. Most likely, you will have leftover ham – I use a 2-pound quarter ham for this and layer quite a few pieces on the sheet pan and save the rest for sandwiches.

If your store doesn’t have quarter hams you can use two to three ham steaks and slice them.

If you don’t like green beans you can use thick asparagus (avoid the thin ones – they will overcook) or brussels sprouts (halve or quarter them).

Instead of baby potatoes, you can use red potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes – they just need to be cut into bite-sized pieces that are roughly the same size.

Whichever potatoes you use, try sprinkling some grated Parmesan over them before serving if you like a little cheese.

A Few More Easter Dinner Ideas

This sheet pan recipe is so easy there’s time to make other delicious things so here are a few more side dish ideas to go with it!

  • If you want a couple of appetizers my Bacon-Chive Deviled Eggs and Goat Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms would be great.
  • Honey-Lemon Glazed Carrots are a quick and easy side dish idea if you want to up the veggie quotient.
  • Crock Pot Mashed Potatoes – double up on the potatoes and make these creamy potatoes in your slow-cooker.
  • Cauliflower Gratin – rich, cheesy, and delicious. This is one of my favorite holiday sides.
  • Roasted Radishes – these are super easy, too, and really pretty!
  • Easy Carrot Cake Cupcakes – the perfect sweet treat to end the meal!

Break out the Easter baskets and sheet pan for this easy dinner! It’s a whole glazed ham dinner that takes no time at all to make and even less time to clean up. But don’t wait for the holiday – this makes a great weeknight dinner, too!

 A whole Easter dinner that cooks on a sheet pan for easy clean-up! Tender potatoes, roasted green beans, and glazed pineapple ham is a great way to have a small holiday dinner without all the fuss. 

  • Author: April Anderson
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 30 minutes
  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x
  • Category: Dinner
  • Method: Bake
  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, cut in half
  • 1/2-pound green beans, trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 teaspoon fresh thyme
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 quartered boneless ham, sliced (see note)
  • 1 (20-ounce) can sliced pineapple, drained
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450°F. Spray a sheet pan with nonstick spray.

Place the potatoes on 1/3 of the pan and then the green beans right next to them in the middle. Drizzle the potatoes and green beans with oil, garlic, thyme, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir the potatoes then the green beans, so they get evenly coated but not mixed together.

On the last third of the pan, alternate laying down ham, then pineapple until you have used up all the ham. If your ham is sliced thin, you can double up on the ham layers, so you have two slices, then pineapple, then two slices.

In a small saucepan, combine the honey, brown sugar, vinegar, and Dijon mustard. Bring the mixture up to a simmer over medium-high heat. Brush the honey glaze over the ham and pineapple.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Notes

Depending on the size of your quarter ham (the ones I find are usually around two pounds), you will probably have extra slices. Save them for sandwiches! You can also double up the slices on the sheet pan to use more so you have leftovers. If you can’t find quarter hams, you can use two to three ham steaks and slice them.

    I made this on Easter 2021 for my 22yo son and me, and we loved it! He didn’t do any of the cooking, but even he was impressed that something this simple and easy could taste so good–and it feels fancy. It’s our new traditional Easter meal. Thank you!

      That is the right temperature but every oven is different, so it’s always good to adjust the heat if needed.
