Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (12 oz) Spam
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 30 pieces Toothpicks
- 1 teaspoon (optional) Cracked black pepper (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Remove the Spam from the can and cut it into evenly sized cubes, approximately 1 inch each. You should get about 30 cubes.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, brown sugar, black pepper, and garlic powder until the sugar is dissolved and the seasoning is well distributed.
Add the Spam cubes to the bowl and gently toss them in the mixture to ensure each piece is well coated.
Place the coated Spam cubes on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small gap between each piece.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, flipping the cubes halfway through to ensure even caramelization.
Once baked and slightly crispy, remove the Spam cubes from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes.
Insert a toothpick into each Spam cube for easy serving. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of cracked black pepper on top for added flavor and presentation.
Serve warm as a flavorful appetizer or party snack.
