Black spots on Spark plugs

Since replacing my spark plugs, i’ve gotten a sputter on my startup every once in a while so I decided to pull my spark plugs and check, they had this black spot on them. Anyone know what it could be? Around 1000 miles on them

Mine had similar spots, I don't think it's abnormal. Harder to see on mine because they are dirtier, but notice the light and dark sides.
