Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick foil or parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine pumpkin pieces, 1 Tbsp oil, and salt. Stir to coat.

Pour onto prepared baking sheet and cook for 10-15 minutes or until pumpkin is fork tender.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Toss with pomegranate arils.
1/2 cup Pomegranate Arils
Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in small skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, fry sage leaves until crisp.
8 Sage Leaves
Transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil. Crumble.
To assemble crostini, spread small amount of goat cheese onto slices of bread. Top with pumpkin mixture. Drizzle with honey and then sprinkle with crumbled sage leaves.
1 loaf French Baguette, 3 ounces Goat Cheese, 1/4 cup Honey

If you prefer the crostini to be crisper, you can brush the slices of bread lightly with oil and bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 3-4 minutes or until lightly crisped.
