Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment or foil.

Step 2: To prep the squash, cut the delicata in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and slice into half-moons about ½ inch thick. Trim the root end of the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half.

Step 3: Arrange the Brussels sprouts and squash on the prepared pan in a single layer, toss with ¼ cup of olive oil, season with salt and freshly ground pepper, and transfer to the oven. Roast until the veggies are tender-crisp and golden, 15 to 20 minutes. In the last five minutes, add the scallions, brushed with 1 tbsp olive oil.

Step 4: Brush 2 pieces of pita with olive oil, season with salt, and transfer to the oven to toast until crisp, 5 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, break the pita bread into bite-sized pieces.

Step 5: Take the cooled scallions, cut off the roots, and process in a blender or food processor until smooth (alternatively, chop very finely). Combine with 4 tbsp olive oil, red wine vinegar, and Dijon mustard. Pulse in machine or whisk until fully combined, and season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper.

Step 6: Pick the mint and parsley leaves and toss the stems. In a large bowl, combine the roasted veggies, herbs, feta, and toasted pita. Drizzle with ⅓ cup of the roasted scallion vinaigrette and turn to coat. Sprinkle with the sumac, grind with pepper, and serve.
