Before starting, preheat the oven to 450˚F. Wash and dry all produce. Peel, then cut potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces. Add potatoes and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to an unlined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Roast in the middle of the oven, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden-brown, 23-25 min.
Meanwhile, peel, then mince or grate garlic. Roughly chop spinach.Halve ciabatta, then arrange on another unlined baking sheet, cut-side up.
Heat a large pot over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then swirl the pot until melted.Add mirepoix and leeks. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 3-4 min. Season with salt and pepper.
Add garlic and tomato sauce base to the pot with veggies. Cook, stirring often, until veggies are coated and garlic is fragrant, 1-2 min. Add lentils, including canning liquid, broth concentrates, half the Zesty Garlic Blend and 1 1/3 cups (2 2/3 cups) water. Bring to a boil over high. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until stew thickens slightly, 4-5 min. (TIP: Add more water if you prefer a more soup-like consistency.) Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Meanwhile, melt 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter in a small microwavable bowl, or in a small pan over low heat. Stir remaining Zesty Garlic Blend into melted butter. Brush garlic butter over ciabatta, then season with salt and pepper. Toast in the top of the oven until golden-brown, 3-4 min. (TIP: Keep an eye on ciabatta so they don't burn!)
