2 cupsbaby spinach leaves

Instructions
Step 1
Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 400°F.
Step 2
Place the sweet potato, 2 tablespoons of water, and garlic in a small saucepan with a pinch of salt. Cover and cook over medium heat, shaking the pan occasionally, until very soft, 20 to 25 minutes. If the sweet potato dries out, add another splash of water. Set aside to cool. Meanwhile, roast the cauliflower and cook the lentils.
Step 3
Place the cauliflower on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast until golden-brown and tender, 20 to 25 minutes; set aside.
Step 4
Place the lentils and a big pinch of salt in a medium saucepan. Add enough water to cover the lentils by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, and then reduce heat and simmer until just tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain off any remaining water.
Step 5
Add the tahini, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil, cumin, and lemon juice to the sweet potato. Whisk to break up the sweet potato and combine until fairly smooth. Taste and add more salt, oil, or lemon juice as needed.
Step 6
Place the roasted cauliflower, lentils, and spinach in a large bowl and toss to combine. Dollop the sweet potato hummus onto a large serving dish. Spoon the cauliflower mixture over or next to the hummus. Sprinkle with the cilantro and pumpkin seeds.
