Directions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. On a baking sheet, cut the asparagus into bite-sized pieces and add the riced cauliflower and corn. Drizzle with oil and Cajun seasoning, then toss to coat and spread in an even layer.
- Roast the vegetables until they begin to soften, about 12 minutes.
- Remove the sheet and stir the vegetables, then return to the oven to continue roasting until tender and golden, about 8–10 more minutes.
- While the veggies roast, heat a grill pan, outdoor grill, or skillet over medium-high heat and cut the ham into portions. Season both sides with Cajun seasoning.
- Add a small amount of oil to the hot pan, then grill the ham until nicely browned and warmed through, flipping once, about 5 minutes. Transfer the ham to a plate.
- Wash and finely chop the parsley leaves, removing the stems.
- When the vegetables are done, remove the sheet from the oven and stir in the parsley, cheese, and salsa until everything is blended and the cheese is melted.
- To serve, divide the cheesy vegetable bake and the ham steaks between plates and enjoy.
Two tips
- Make ahead: roast the vegetables up to 1 day in advance and reheat briefly with the ham.
- Serving idea: swap in a different shredded cheese you have on hand if desired.
