Method

Heat the oven to 220C and cut the pumpkin into 3cm wedges, skin on.
Drain and pat the chickpeas dry, then toss them with the pumpkin, the onion cut into wedges, the oil and the cumin.
Roast on a large tray for 30 minutes, turning once, until the pumpkin caramelises and the chickpeas crisp at the edges.
Cover the couscous with 350ml boiling water, leave it for 5 minutes, then fork it through with the lemon juice.
Pile the roast vegetables onto the couscous, fold the spinach through so it wilts in the heat, and spoon the yoghurt over.
