Set parsnips in a steamer over boiling water and cover. Steam for about 8 minutes or until tender. Drain and transfer to a bowl. Add almond milk and mash with a fork until smooth and combined. Set aside.
Set a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add water, miso paste, oat flour, garlic powder, and salt. Whisk to combine and remove any lumps.
Bring to a simmer and add tapioca flour while continuing to whisk. Let simmer for at least 5 to 10 minutes, then remove from heat. The gravy will thicken as it cools.
Divide mashed parsnips and pour the desired amount of gravy over top.
