Method · 50 min
  1. Preheat oven to 375℉. Cut the ham steak into quarters, halve the Brussels sprouts, and slice the potatoes into 1/4" slices.
  2. Add the sliced potatoes to a bowl and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Arrange the seasoned potatoes across 1/2 to 1/3 of a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake potatoes for 20 min.**
  4. Meanwhile, mix together the brown sugar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, pumpkin pie spice, and reserved pineapple juice to form a thick paste. Set aside for now.
  5. Toss the sliced Brussels sprouts in the same bowl as the potatoes to pick up the leftover oil and seasonings.
  6. After 20 minutes, pull the potatoes from the oven and flip them over. Add the ham steaks to the baking tray and top with a slice of pineapple, alternating them. It's ok if the ham slices overlap each other. Brush the top of the ham and pineapple slices with the marinade, using every drop.
  7. Before popping the sheet pan back in the oven, add the Brussels sprouts.
  8. Bake everything together for 20-25 min. Serve, and enjoy!
