Maple Bacon Butternut Squash

I saw the original recipe for Maple Bacon Butternut Squash Sticks from Something Edible and decided to make a recipe using the same ingredients but taking advantage of the cubed butternut squash at the grocery store so that I wouldn't have to bother cutting up a squash.

The bacon adds a smokey flavor contrasting with the sweetness of squash and the maple syrup, and the cayenne pepper puts a little tingle on your tongue.
