Cook-a-long: Honey Chipotle Build-a-Plate on Whatnot

3 pm Sunday March 22nd, 2026 on Whatnot

Honey Chipotle Build-A-Plate

Sweet Heat • Smoky Depth • One Blend, Endless Possibilities

Description

This Sunday, we’re building a bold, balanced plate using our Honey Chipotle blend — a smoky, slightly sweet seasoning that brings depth, warmth, and just the right amount of heat.

Together, we’ll create a complete, restaurant-quality meal with three components:

Honey Chipotle Salmon
Salmon prepared in a smoker, grill, or oven after being rubbed with Honey Chipotle (approximately 1 tablespoon per pound). This creates a beautifully seasoned, slightly caramelized exterior with tender, flaky fish.

Honey Chipotle Roasted Carrots
Carrots tossed with olive oil and Honey Chipotle, then roasted until caramelized and lightly crisp at the edges. The natural sweetness of the carrots pairs perfectly with the smoky heat of the blend.

Cucumber & Avocado Lime Salad
A fresh, cooling salad with crisp cucumber, creamy avocado, lime, and herbs. This bright element balances the richness of the salmon and ties the entire plate together.

This class is designed to be plant-forward, with easy swaps so you can build the same beautiful plate whether you’re cooking seafood, chicken, or keeping it completely plant-based.

You’ll learn how to use one blend across multiple components, balance sweet smoky heat with fresh acidity, and build a complete, elevated plate in under an hour.

Simple ingredients. Bold flavor. A complete system for real cooking.
