  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. Roast the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet for 45 minutes or until tender.
  4. While the squash is roasting, melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  6. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
  7. Gradually whisk in the milk until the sauce thickens.
  8. Stir in the thyme, salt, and pepper.
  9. Remove the roasted squash from the oven and let cool slightly.
  10. Scoop the squash flesh out of the skin and into a large bowl.
  11. Add the sauce to the squash and stir to combine.
  12. Spread the mixture into a buttered 9x13-inch baking dish.
  13. Sprinkle the Parmesan and Gruyère cheeses over the top.
  14. Bake for 30 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown and the gratin is bubbly.
  15. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
