How Long to Cook Air Fryer Ham Boneless

Boneless air fryer ham is easy! Want to save room in your oven or just make a small piece for 2 of you, this is how long to cook ham in an air fryer. If you have an 8 in 1 multi cooker you can make either this or our other Ninja Foodi ham recipe with a pineapple glaze.

Air Fryer Ham with Pineapple

I made an Instant Pot ham years ago, with a similar glaze, and it turned out great! Oven baked is fabulous if you have the time, but sometimes you want enough for just 2-4 people. This is great for times like that. We don’t just make this during the holidays either. It has high protein and saves well for next day dishes.

That is right, don’t worry about making too much because you can make our popular leftover ham recipe the day after so there is no waste. Now that I air fry everything I wanted to figure out this method as well so I could share it with all of you. Here we go…..

Ham in Ninja Foodi Air Fryer

If you choose to just use the air crisp mode you can make it this way in that machine, with the lid that is attached. Ninja Foodi ham with pressure cooker mode is linked at the top of this post. This is not just for the holidays though. Ham is great to cook year round.

I mean, we cook something like this and save the rest. Throughout the rest of the week I make things like Crockpot ham and potato soup with heavy cream with a few handfuls inside which is delicious.

This is the whole, smoked, precooked ham we chose from the store. From there I just made a sweet mustard glaze to pour on top to keep it moist.

Of course there are size restraints for this. You can see which one I chose. Store brand, cooked and smoked. You could slice this cold and use it as lunchmeat too kinda’ style. If you bought a less processed version that is fine but note that it needs to be on the smaller side of things which will take about 40 minutes total to warm.

What meats can you cook in an air fryer?

You can cook ALL THE THINGS in it y’all! I have made air fryer steak, pork loin in an air fryer, frozen chicken breast and air fried shrimp too. Everything comes out perfectly this way. You may have a few questions before you make this for Christmas, Easter, or for no occasion at all:

Boneless Ham Air Fryer Time

The total time sliced was about 40 minutes. That will vary slightly depending on how thick yours is but this is typical. I wouldn’t say that is what we did here but yes I added a mustard sauce of sorts to it. I feel like it needs something to stay nice and moist as it is heated. You could leave off though and just use a bit of water.

Ingredients

1. Boneless Pre cooked ham – ours was 3.5 lbs. (I wouldn’t buy much larger)
2. 7.5″ springform pan
   1. or wrap the ham in tinfoil but that is messier
3. 3 ingredient ham glaze can be used or whisk ingredients below
4. Butter
5. Dijon mustard
6. Minced garlic
7. Brown sugar
8. Water or broth
9. Honey

Can you heat up a cooked ham in air fryer?

Yes, we share step by step directions but there is a printable recipe card at the bottom. First you will want to slice whole boneless ham 3/4 of the way down, don’t have your slices go all the way down though. Leave some attached at the bottom so it doesn’t fall apart.

In a large mixing cup or bowl melt butter, then add all other ingredients and whisk together well. Lightly spray inside of 7.5″ springform pan with non stick spray. Put ham inside and pour 1/2 of your honey glaze mixture on top and in between slices. Put foil over the top of the pan and put it inside your air fryer basket.

What temperature do you cook a boneless ham?

I like to warm or cook at 300 degrees F. In this small area it will only take 20 minutes cook time initially. With a glaze, you’ll stop halfway to pour on and cook another 20 minutes.

• Remove top of the foil and reset temp to 360 degrees F for 5 minutes. Pour or brush the glaze over and continue cooking for 2 minutes to brown the top.
• When timer is up leave basket closed for 5 – 15 minutes more so insides of ham can continue to warm. Remove, slice, and serve.

How to Cook Ham Steak in Air Fryer

If you only want to cook one slice essentially, that won’t take long. We explain How to Cook Ham Steak several ways here. I would preheat to 350 F and cook at that temp for 4 minutes. Whip up a small bit of pineapple glaze as I listed below and drizzle over it and enjoy.

How to Reheat Ham Slices in Air Fryer

That’s how you make this honey baked ham in your small kitchen appliance. If you do have slices left you could add into foil with a bit of glaze or broth inside and heat at 360 for a few minutes until warmed again.
