Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the pumpkin into large wedges and remove the seeds. You do not need to peel the pumpkin at this stage.
Drizzle the pumpkin wedges with olive oil, making sure to coat them evenly.
Place the pumpkin wedges on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, skin-side down. Roast in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until the flesh is very tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the roasted pumpkin from the oven and let it cool slightly until it can be handled. Scoop out the flesh from the skin and discard the skin.
Transfer the pumpkin flesh to a large mixing bowl or a food processor. Add the almond milk, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg.
Mash the pumpkin with a potato masher or blend using the food processor until you reach your desired level of creaminess.
Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding more salt or pepper if needed.
Transfer the mashed pumpkin to a serving dish and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a cozy main on its own.
