Toast almonds, pita
Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. When the oil is shimmering, add the pita and chopped almonds. Stir to coat in oil and sprinkle with salt. After 2 minutes, stir in the sumac. Cook until the almonds are fragrant and lightly browned and the pita is slightly toasted and crispy, about 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.

Cook squash
Increase heat on the same pan to medium-high and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the garlic cloves and squash and sprinkle with salt. Cook, turning once, until squash is tender enough to pierce with a fork and caramelized on both sides, about 4 minutes per side.
While the squash cooks:
*Peel and thinly slice onion. Toss in a small bowl with balsamic vinegar and a dash of salt.
*Zest half of lemon, then slice lemon in half.
