Preparation
1
Make croutons and toast pepitas

Before starting, preheat the oven to 375˚F. Wash and dry all produce. Cut ciabatta into 1-inch pieces, then add to baking sheet. Drizzle 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) over top, then sprinkle with 1 tsp Indian Spice Mix (dbl for 4 ppl). Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Toast in the top of the oven, stirring halfway through, until croutons are golden-brown, 14-16 min. At the halfway mark, add pepitas to the baking sheet. Toast pepitas with croutons for the remainder of the cook time, until nutty and golden.

2
Prep

While croutons toast, peel, then halve carrot lengthwise, then cut into 1/4-inch half-moons. Peel, core, then cut apple into 1/2-inch pieces. Peel, halve then cut onion into 1/4-inch pieces. Roughly chop cilantro.

3
Start stew

Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened slightly, 2-3 min. Add squash, carrots, Moroccan Spice Blend and remaining Indian Spice Mix. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec.

4
Simmer stew

Add lentils, broth concentrates and 2 3/4 cups water (dbl for 4 ppl) to the pot with veggies. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Add apples. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender, 8-10 min.

5
Finish stew

Add spinach, then stir until wilted 1-2 min. (TIP: Add 1/4 cup water if stew is too thick.) Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6
Finish and serve

Divide stew between bowls. Sprinkle with cilantro and pepitas, then top with croutons.
