¼ cup brown sugar Zero-calorie alternatives can be used for all or part of the amount.
2 Tablespoons honey
2 Tablespoons orange juice pulp-free
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
1 pound ham steak boneless or bone-in; Look for low-sodium slices.
1 pound asparagus
½ pound golden potatoes diced into small uniform pieces so they cook quickly.
1 teaspoon olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 375°F.
In a small sauce pot, combine brown sugar, honey, orange juice, cinnamon, and ground cloves. Optionally, add a teaspoon of orange zest. Bring the mixture to a slow boil over medium heat then simmer for about 1 minute on low to slightly thicken, constantly stirring. Remove from heat.
Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup and spray it with nonstick cooking spray. Place ham steaks in the pan and brush each side with the glaze.
Next to the ham steaks, arrange asparagus and diced potatoes in a single layer. Spritz the vegetables with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the ham is heated through and the vegetables are fork-tender. Toss the veggies halfway through and rotate the pans if using more than one for the best results. The ham's internal temperature should reach 145°F.

Top Tips:

Don't overcook the ham steaks. If the vegetables are not ready, remove the ham steaks and cover with aluminum foil until serving time.
Don't crowd the vegetables on the sheet pan. If necessary, use two pans, staggering their placement in the stove, so that the veggies get crispy.
Save a little sweet glaze or double the amount so you can serve it on the side for drizzling.

Storage:

Storage: Store leftover ham in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
Make ahead: Mix the glaze ingredients together ahead of time and store the mixture in the refrigerator.
