Cooking Steps
- Cut ciabatta into 1-inch pieces.
- Add ciabatta pieces and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to an unlined baking sheet. 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 and croutons for the remainder of the cook time, until golden.
- Meanwhile, peel, then halve carrot lengthwise and cut into 1/4-inch half-moons.
- Peel, core, then cut apple into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Peel, then cut onion into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Roughly chop cilantro.
- Peel, then cut sweet potato into 1/2-inch pieces.

- Add lentils, broth concentrate and 2 1/4 cups (4 1/2 cups) water to the pot with veggies.
- Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over high.
- Once boiling, add apples. Reduce heat to medium.
- Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender and apples are soft, 8-10 min. (TIP: If you prefer a thinner stew, add water until stew reaches desired consistency. If you prefer a thicker stew, continue cooking with the lid off.)
