Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 375F.Toss the pecans with a little canola oil and sea salt, and roast until fragrant, about 7 to 10 minutes.Meanwhile, peel and seed the squash and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Toss with a little canola oil on two baking sheets (do not crowd) and sprinkle with more of the sea salt. When the pecans are done, remove from the oven, raise the temperature to 425F and roast the squash until it's soft and the edges are deep brown.While the squash roasts, cut the bacon into 1-inch pieces and fry it up in a large skillet. You may need to do this in two batches, pouring off the fat (be sure to save it!) in-between.
