How to Make Asparagus on the Blackstone
Cooking asparagus on a blackstone griddle is super quick and easy!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh asparagus
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by preheating your Blackstone griddle over medium-high heat. While the griddle is heating up, wash the asparagus and trim off the tough ends.

- Place the asparagus in a large bowl. Drizzle it with olive oil, ensuring all the spears are evenly coated. Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the asparagus. You can also add a dash of garlic powder for extra flavor. Toss everything together so the asparagus is well-seasoned.
- Once the griddle is hot, lay the asparagus spears across it in a single layer. Try to keep them perpendicular to the griddle lines to prevent them from falling through. Cook for about 4-7 minutes, depending on the thickness of your asparagus. Use tongs to turn them occasionally, ensuring they get beautifully charred on all sides but still retain a slight crunch.
