Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and prepare the vegetables. Cut the broccoli and cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds.
Place the prepared vegetables in a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss well to coat the vegetables evenly.
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased with olive oil.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are fork-tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the vegetables.
Then, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top of the cheddar layer.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and broil on high for 3–5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly with a golden crust.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot as a side or light dish.
