How to Cook Air Fryer Spam – Crispy, Savory, and So Easy

Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside—Air Fryer Spam is a quick and easy treat that delivers deliciously golden slices of salty perfection. It’s perfect for a snack, a sandwich filling, or a tasty breakfast addition.

Ingredients

  • 1 can of Spam (regular or flavored)
  • Cooking spray (optional)

Instructions

Prep the Spam:

  • Open the can of Spam and carefully remove it.
  • Slice the Spam into even pieces, about ¼ to ½ inch thick, depending on your preference.

Prepare the Air Fryer:

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
  • Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking (optional).

Arrange the Spam:

  • Lay the Spam slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t overlap.

Cook the Spam:

  • Air fry the Spam slices for 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time.
  • Check for a golden, crispy texture. Cook an additional minute or two if needed for extra crispiness.

Serve and Enjoy:

  • Carefully remove the Spam slices with tongs.
  • Serve immediately as a snack, in sandwiches, or as part of a meal.

Tips:

  • Experiment with different Spam flavors like jalapeño or teriyaki for variety.
  • Pair with eggs, rice, or toast for a complete dish.
