Tips for Making the Perfect Griddle Side Dish

• Over Flipping:  The number one mistake that I see griddle cook’s making is fussing with their food too much!  Just let your food cook!!  You want crispy golden-brown color on your side dishes and if you keep flipping, flipping, and flipping your food, you won’t get it. 

• Proper Oil: Make sure to use the proper oil.  Some oils have a lower smoke point and will burn very easy.  Butter will add great flavor to your sides but burns very easy and will taint the flavor of your foods.  Consider adding butter toward the end of cooking instead of at the beginning. 

• Overuse Of Oil: Be careful not to overuse oil and drown the food you are cooking.  Remember you can always add more oil but it’s hard to remove it after adding. 

• Don’t Over Season:  The biggest mistake that I make when cooking my sides is over seasoning!  When it comes to seasoning, less is best.  You can always add but you can’t take away seasonings!

What Sides to Cook on Your Blackstone Griddle

Are you stomped with what sides to cook on your Blackstone Griddle?  Don’t worry, the more you cook on your griddle the more side dish ideas will come to you.

What to Serve with Side Dish Recipes?

Pair your Blackstone side dishes with your favorite main meal recipes for a well-rounded and satisfying outdoor dining experience.  Here are some ideas to get you started:

Smashed Burgers:  This is a signature Blackstone Griddle recipe!  If you haven’t made a smashed burger, you need too!!  When made right, they cook quickly, are super juicy, and have awesome flavor from the crispy crust and moist insides. 

Butter Steaks:  Use my technique of adding seasoned garlic butter patties to the top of your steak after it has been flipped over will create a golden brown piece of meat that is full of juicy flavors. 

Garlic Butter Chicken:  This is my signature dish that my family asks for often.  It is a healthy protein that can be made in just a few short minutes and pairs beautifully with colorful griddle vegetables to make a complete healthy meal. 

Kabobs:  You can make all vegetable kabobs, marinated chicken kabobs, Ranch kabobs with bacon and chicken, as well as venison kabobs.  Use the extra vegetables from the garden or make a fried rice to pair with your kabobs to create a complete meal that your family will request over and over again!

Griddle Sandwiches:  Griddle sandwiches are the best!!  There are so many different griddle sandwiches at you can make but what do you pair with them?  I have the perfect sides such as crispy French fries or delicious sweet potato fries.
