Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1½ tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. Aleppo-style pepper
½ small head of red cabbage (about 10 oz.), cut into 1" pieces
1 medium red onion, cut into 8 wedges through root end
1½ lb. winter squash, preferably delicata, halved, seeds removed, sliced crosswise ½" thick
1 large pita bread, split into 2 layers, cut or torn into 1½"-2" pieces
8 oz. Halloumi cheese, cut into 1" pieces
2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1½ tsp. ground sumac
Mint springs (for serving)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425°F. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with 1 Tbsp. oil. Mix garlic, salt, Aleppo-style pepper, and 3 Tbsp. oil in a large bowl. Add cabbage, onion, and squash and toss to coat. Spread out on prepared baking sheet (keep bowl handy) and roast until squash is browned underneath, 25-30 minutes.
Toss pita, Halloumi, and remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in reserved bowl. Scatter over vegetables, then turn vegetables over with a large spatula. Roast until squash is fork-tender and cabbage, onion, pita, and Halloumi are browned in spots (cheese should be soft inside), 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and drizzle with vinegar. Top with sumac and mint.
