We saw Vinny make this wonderful squash dish during Restaurant Wars in Season 2 of Top Chef ™. The dish earned rave reviews from the judges.

Instructions
Slice the squash and roll each slice in salt, pepper, squash powder and sumac (or other seasoning of your choice) and leave the squash for at least an hour.
Preheat the oven to 240º F.
Melt the butter over medium heat in the skillet and then sear the squash slices to brown the entire surface area - this helps prevent the finished dish from being too oily.
Tip the oil over the squash in the skillet and turn the heat down to low until you can see that the oil is hot then carefully transfer the skillet into the oven. Heat for 30 minutes, then use a slotted spoon to move the squash onto kitchen paper to drain. Serve while still hot.
