Preheat oven to 450°F

Cut squash into 1 inch cubes.

For those that prefer more bacon, use 8 strips and cut into thirds width-wise.

For those who prefer less bacon, cut 4 strips in half length-wise and then thirds width-wise.

Wrap 1 piece of bacon around 1 piece of squash.

Place squash on rimmed baking tray, with ends of bacon meeting on the bottom.

Repeat with remaining squash pieces.

Bake for 10 minutes; flip and bake for an additional 10 minutes.

Depending on how crispy you like your bacon, it may be done or may need another 5 minutes.

Remove squash from baking tray, and brush top of bacon with maple syrup.
