Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Whole30 compliant Spam or similar meat substitute
- 2 tbsp Coconut aminos
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 0.5 tsp Smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tbsp Arrowroot powder
Instructions
Slice the Whole30 compliant Spam into 1/4 inch thick slices.
In a small bowl, combine coconut aminos, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
Brush each slice of Spam with the coconut amino mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated on both sides.
Place the arrowroot powder on a plate, and dredge each slice of the Spam, lightly coating both sides.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the Spam slices in a single layer, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Fry each side for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked slices to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately while hot, paired with your favorite Whole30 approved sides or salad.
