1. Trim any excess fat and skin off the ham before cooking.
2. Season with herbs and spices of your choice, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or dried thyme.
3. Place the ham in a roasting pan lined with foil to prevent it from drying out while cooking.
4. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
5. Bake the ham for 1 hour per pound of weight (or until an internal temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit is reached).
6. Let the ham rest for 10 minutes after taking it out of the oven, then slice and serve.
