Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a sheet pan with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the butternut squash, 0.5 tablespoon olive oil, 0.25 teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat. In another bowl, combine Brussels sprouts with remaining 0.5 tablespoon olive oil, 0.25 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Toss well.
Spread the vegetables evenly on the sheet pan. Sprinkle the chopped bacon on top. Roast for 20 minutes.
Using a spatula, toss the veggies and roast for an additional 15 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine maple syrup and soy sauce. Simmer over medium-low heat for 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
Transfer roasted vegetables to a serving dish, drizzle with the maple soy glaze, and toss to coat evenly before serving.
