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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Remove the Spam from the can and cut it into evenly sized cubes, approximately 1 inch each. You should get about 30 cubes.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Add the Spam cubes to the bowl and gently toss them in the mixture to ensure each piece is well coated.
Step 5
Place the coated Spam cubes on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small gap between each piece.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, flipping the cubes halfway through to ensure even caramelization.
Step 7
Once baked and slightly crispy, remove the Spam cubes from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Serve warm as a flavorful appetizer or party snack.
