Materials
- Onions, 5 pound bag
- Avocado Oil, 3 tablespoons
- Blackstone Griddle Seasoning & Cast Iron Conditioning 2 tablespoons
Tools
- Blackstone Griddle
- Griddle Spatula
- Tongs
Instructions
-
- Slice a whole onion in half. Next, slice several onions and place in a large bowl. The more onions the better.
- Heat your griddle to high.
- Use a halved onion to scrub the surface.
- Pour some avocado oil across the whole griddle top.
- Add the slice onions to the whole griddle top. Spread around to create an even layer on the griddle and cook until they are golden brown.
- Remove all the onions and dispose of properly.
- Steam the hot griddle top with water to help lift off old oil. Wipe clean with paper towels. Do this step a couple of time.
- Apply a thin layer of high-smoke-point oil (I recommend using Blackstone Griddle Seasoning & Cast Iron Conditioning) and let burn off to re-season. Repeat this step if needed.
- Cook your favorite recipe.
