Super Easy Instant Vortex Air Fryer Ham
This is one of my favorite things to make! I have always cooked hams for lunchmeat but hate heating up the house. This makes it easy to cook small hams in no time!
Mix up the glaze or you can prepare the glaze that comes with the ham. Some hams come with a glaze that is super easy to whip up. If your ham didn’t come with glaze mix, you can use ours 😉
Got leftovers? Slice them up into ham steaks and reheat them for breakfast.
Air Fryer Glazed Ham
Air fryer glazed ham is moist on the inside with a sweet and caramelized glaze on the outside.

Servings 8 servings
Equipment
- Aluminum Foil 18" long
Ingredients
- 2-4 pound boneless ham fully cooked
Glaze
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 320°F.
- Combine glaze ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer until glaze is combined.
- Place the ham in the foil. Close the foil over the ham, wrap tightly and cook for 20 minutes.
- Open and brush about ½ of the glaze over the ham. Leave the foil open on top, ensuring the glaze can't leak out. Cook for another 20-30 minutes, brushing with glaze every 10 minutes.
Notes
- Wrap leftovers or place them in an airtight container, and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
- Air fryer ham freezes well in freezer bags or containers for up to two months. Layer foil or parchment paper between pieces of ham to prevent them from sticking together.

thanks – I’d still like to know when to use the other functions. Are there any instruction books I can get to make the most of my unit?
We actually aren’t affiliated with Vortex Air Fryer but you can find their online manual here. We do use the bake function when making things like these blueberry cookies or red velvet cookies. And the Roast function is great for recipes like whole chicken when using the vortex air fryer.
I want to know when do I use the “air fryer” setting, or the “roast” setting or the “bake” setting??? No recipe indicates which setting to use in a recipe.
Hi Ellen, unless otherwise specified we use the air fryer function for all our air fryer recipes. Hope that helps!
Can you cook a bigger ham in the oven? How much time should you allow for the bigger ham? Thank you
We found four pounds to be the max we could prepare in our air fryer. You will want to read your manual to ensure it can handle the size and weight of your ham. If it is a precooked ham as we used you just need to ensure it reaches a safe internal temperature of 140°F. Hope that helps!
