1 1/2 lbs. sweet potatoes, peeled if desired and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
4 Tbsp. olive oil, divided
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp ground coriander
1/8 – 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 small yellow onion, diced (1 cup) or 1-2 leeks, white parts sliced thin

1 cup yellow corn, cooked and cut off ear
3 Tbsp. honey
3 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
