I have a cron job in CPanel to run every minute.
Whats the correct way to blackhole the emails?
Do I set the email address as >>/dev/null ?

Use this -
/dev/null 2>&1
What happens here is as follows:
1. We send standard output to /dev/null, using > /dev/null.
2. 2>&1 - ensures that you send the standard error (file descriptor 2), to wherever standard output (file descriptor 1) is going, which is, as already established, to the bitbucket.
