In all likelihood, these are hydathodes. These are small openings into the leaf that allow excess water to leave. They may also function to uptake water from dew or fog. Commonly, as water evaporates from them they will become brown, white or black but, regardless of what their color is, they're harmless and even a part of the leaf.
This has potential to be something more serious, like rot or a less serious but still problematic sunburn. I'm going to attach a link here to an article that goes over dark spots on plants and what they could mean just in case these spots begin affecting the health of the plant over all.
