# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, combine acorn squash slices with olive oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
03 - Arrange squash in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden. Remove and allow to cool slightly.
04 - While squash roasts, bring water and salt to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add farro, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes until tender yet chewy. Drain and set aside to cool.
05 - Whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl or jar until emulsified.
06 - In a large salad bowl, combine cooked farro, mustard greens, sliced red onion, toasted pecans, and dried cranberries. Drizzle with prepared vinaigrette and toss to coat evenly.
07 - Top the salad with warm maple-roasted acorn squash slices and crumble goat cheese over the top. Serve immediately or at room temperature.
