Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rub the cut sides of the butternut squash with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Place the squash halves, cut side up, on a baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Once roasted, remove the squash from the oven and let it cool slightly. Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese over the warm squash. Top with pomegranate seeds for a burst of color and flavor.
Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs and an extra drizzle of olive oil if desired. Serve warm and enjoy this delightful and elegant dish!
