Air Frying:
- Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the seasoned gammon steaks in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd.
- Air Fry: Cook in the preheated air fryer for 10-12 minutes, then flip the steaks and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes or until the gammon is crispy and golden brown.
Optional Glaze:
- Apply Maple Syrup or Honey (Optional): If desired, brush the gammon steaks with maple syrup or honey during the last few minutes of cooking for a sweet glaze.
