Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Slice the delicata squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.

Brush the cut sides of the squash with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.

Place the squash cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender.

Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add minced garlic, sage, and thyme to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Scoop the roasted squash flesh into a bowl and mash it with a fork.

Combine the mashed squash with the sautéed onion mixture, heavy cream, nutmeg, and chicken broth; mix well.

Transfer the squash mixture to a greased baking dish and spread evenly.

Top with grated parmesan cheese and bread crumbs, then dot with butter.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden and bubbly.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
