Ingredients for air fryer roast gammon
A 900g ham joint
2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons of runny honey
Method
So remember to remove the gammon from the fridge about half an hour or so before you plan to cook it. So start by combining two tablespoons each of Dijon mustard and runny honey in a bowl to make a simple dressing. Then brush the dressing evenly over the ham. Leave some of the honey mustard dressing for later on.
Then wrap the ham joint in tin foil and place in your air fryer basket. Cook on 160c for around thirty minutes then open the drawer and brush again with the rest of the honey mustard dressing.
So cook the ham for a further thirty minutes until the joint is golden brown on the outside and the meat is cooked through. I recommend using a meat thermometer to check that the temperature is 70 to 75 degrees celcius in the centre. Remove the tin foil for the last five minutes of cooking time to crisp up the surface of the gammon.
