Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Trim about 1/2" from the top and bottom of the squash, slice down the middle, and remove the seeds with a spoon.
Slice acorn squash lengthwise in 1/2" slices and put into a medium bowl.
Toss with olive oil and salt and pepper.
Then lay it flat on a large baking sheet.
Roast in the oven for 15 minutes; then flip the slices and roast for an additional 10 minutes.
In a medium bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese and thyme.
Top the squash slices evenly with the Parmesan-thyme mixture and roast for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is crispy, browned, and bubbly.
Serve warm with chateaubriand.
