    In medium saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring often, until softened and translucent, about 8 minutes.

    Stir in garlic, cumin, cayenne, and salt, and allow to cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add sweet potato, carrots, chickpeas, and vegetable stock, and bring mixture to a boil. Stir in Sunflower Seed Turmeric Butter, reduce heat to medium low, and let mixture simmer, stirring occasionally, until sweet potatoes are fork tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in spinach and cook until just wilted, about another minute.
