How to Cook Asparagus on the Blackstone Griddle
First, preheat your griddle to 350°F. Use an infrared thermometer to ensure the correct temperature.
Next, combine the oil, lemon juice, and seasonings in a shallow dish. Trim the stems of the asparagus and place them in a bowl. Coat the asparagus with the oil and seasonings.
Oil your griddle and scatter the asparagus in a single layer. Cook for about 5 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the asparagus is tender. Thicker spears may require a bit more cooking time.
Transfer the asparagus to a serving platter, season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with a squeeze of lemon juice. If you’re not serving it immediately, tent it with foil to keep it warm.
