Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Peel the pumpkin, remove seeds, and cut it into small cubes (about 1-2 cm).
Spread the pumpkin cubes on a baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until tender. Set aside.
While the pumpkin is roasting, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, grated parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Reduce the oven temperature to 180°C (350°F).
Grease the skillet with butter to prevent sticking, then evenly spread the roasted pumpkin and wilted spinach across the bottom of the skillet.
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, ensuring an even distribution.
Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is set and lightly golden on top. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
Allow the frittata to cool slightly before slicing into wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature.
