Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into small cubes for quicker cooking.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the sweet potato cubes and cauliflower florets. Boil for about 15 minutes, or until both the sweet potatoes and cauliflower are fork-tender.
Drain the sweet potatoes and cauliflower well and transfer them to a blender or food processor.
Add the almond milk, butter (or coconut oil for a dairy-free option), garlic powder, ground cinnamon, salt, and black pepper.
Blend or process the mixture until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides a few times to ensure an even consistency.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. If you prefer a thinner puree, you can add a bit more almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, blending after each addition.
Serve warm as a side dish with your favorite protein or vegetables. Enjoy!
