Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise.
Place them in a baking dish and drizzle with a little olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and add a couple of cloves of garlic and a sprig of fresh thyme and oregano inside each cavity.
Turn the squash halves upside down and bake them for 30 minutes, adjusting the time depending on the size of your squash.
Once the squash is cooked, place the garlic cloves that were inside the squash in a mortar. Add a pinch of coarse salt to taste and some fresh tarragon. Crush them well.
Add the cilantro and parsley and finish with a generous splash of olive oil, creating a delicious garlic herb sauce.
Serve your roasted squash, drizzle the sauce on top, and sprinkle with some toasted pumpkin seeds.
