This is by far my favorite way to eat acorn squash. The Parmesan and the thyme, knocks this one out of the park.
The squash has such an amazing savory flavor when you add the cheese, and it looks pretty too.
This is definitely the season to go into "squash overload" mode, as I always do. There are just so many ways to cook squash...just make sure you try this one.

I love acorn squash – this looks fantastic. All of your recipes do!
Stupid question – do you eat the peel when it is cooked this way?
Yes, you can eat it, it’s thin enough.
I just put this in the oven;’squash over-load’ is such a wonderful setting on the dial! Thanks!
I just put more in the oven too. Can’t get enough.
Mmm so simple and lovely. Yum!
I’m going to try this tonight with one exception…I don’t have parmesean, so I’m going to try a *tiny* bit of blue cheese…
I cooked this last night with dinner. The other dishes were hardly touched and we all demolished the acorn squash. I will definitely be cooking this again soon!
Oh good! I know, it’s so delicious.
