Pour 8oz water onto the parchment paper.
Roast for about an hour until tender. The squash should be bubbling and caramelized.
Allow to cool 10-15 minutes until you can hold it without a problem.
Peel off the outside skin and put flesh into a blender with 8oz water. Puree until smooth.
Pour into ice cube trays, allow to cool, then wrap/cover and freeze.
Thaw in the fridge the night before use, or thaw by putting the ice cube in a bowl over a bowl of hot water on the counter to defrost.
