Notes

  • If your air fryer doesn't have a preheating option, you can set the temperature to 400°F (204°C) and then let it cook for 4-5 minutes.
  • You can also skip preheating by adding 2-4 minutes to your cooking time. Increment gradually, to prevent burning the SPAM slices.
  • Suggested Cooking Times for a ¼-inch thick SPAM slices : Classic SPAM: 8-10 minutes; Any Sweet Variety: 6-8 Minutes; Extra Crispy: 12-14 minutes.
  • You can make your SPAM thinner or thicker, depending on how you like it. Slicing it thinner will make it ultra crispy (cooked for 6-8 minutes). A thicker version will give you a crunchy outer layer that is soft on the inside.
  • Air frying any sugary food will require a shorter cooking time since the sugar will caramelize more quickly.
  • Prepare for Some Smoke: Processed meat like SPAM and sausage tend to release oil, which can result in smoke. When cooking SPAM, ensure you are in a well-ventilated space.
  • I used a 6-quart Instant Pot Vortex Plus to test the Air Fryer SPAM Recipe. Cooking time and temperature may vary depending on your air fryer, the thickness of your spam slices and the number of servings you are making. For optimal results, begin with the lower end of the suggested cooking time.
