Preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss squash slices in a medium size bowl with olive oil then lay them onto a parchment lined baking sheet and brush both sides with maple syrup. Scatter bacon pieces over and around the squash. Season with salt and pepper.
Bake approximately 20-25 minutes (turning halfway through) until squash is slightly caramelized and fork tender and the bacon is crispy.
Plate arugula and top with the squash pieces and bacon. Sprinkle with crumbled garlic and herb goat cheese.
Optional additions: Top with chopped candied pecans and drizzle with a little remaining maple syrup before serving if desired.
