Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Spread the butternut squash cubes on a parchment-lined baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, and sprinkle with 1/4 tsp salt. Roast for 22–25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the cubes are tender and the edges are lightly golden.

Transfer the roasted squash to a large mixing bowl and mash with a fork until mostly smooth with some small chunks remaining — you want texture, not a purée.
