1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the veggies: Add halved potatoes and green beans to the pan. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic, thyme, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.

4. Make the glaze: While veggies roast, whisk honey, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl until smooth and glossy.
5. Add the beef & pineapple: Remove the pan from the oven. Nestle sliced smoked beef and pineapple among the vegetables.
6. Brush generously with the glaze, coating everything well.

• Extra caramelization: Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end watch closely!
• Serving idea: Pair with warm dinner rolls or a simple spring salad.
