½ teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon lime zest
½ teaspoon kosher salt

1 tablespoon light mayonnaise
1 tablespoon honey
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Toss cubed sweet potatoes with the olive oil and place on a lined baking sheet.
- Roast potatoes for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until potatoes are fork-tender, but not browned. Set aside to cool.
- In a medium bowl, combine the beans, corn, onion, cumin, lime zest, salt, pepper and cilantro. Add the cooled sweet potatoes and gently stir to combine.
