Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray; set a side.
Cut squash in half length wise. Scrap out the seeds and cut squash into ¼" pieces.
Add squash and pears to a bowl, top with coconut oil and maple syrup. Toss until the squash and pears are coated. I used my hands. Place the mixture onto prepare baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and brown sugar.
