Ingredients
1 can (12 oz / 340 g) Spam
Light oil spray, optional
Freshly ground black pepper, optional
Directions
1. Slice the Spam into 8 even slices.
2. Preheat the air fryer to 390°F if your model cooks more evenly after preheating.
3. Arrange the slices in a single layer in the basket.
4. Air fry for 4–5 minutes, flip, then cook for 3–5 more minutes until golden and crisp at the edges.

Notes / Tips
Thinner slices get crispier faster, while thicker slices stay a little juicier.
Spam releases its own fat, so extra oil usually is not necessary.
Do not overcrowd the basket or the slices will brown less evenly.
Variations
Brush lightly with teriyaki sauce during the last 1–2 minutes for a sweet-savory glaze.
Sprinkle with black pepper, garlic powder, or chili flakes after cooking for extra flavor.
Cut into sticks or cubes instead of slices for snack plates, rice bowls, or quick meals.
