Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and prepare the vegetables: Cut the broccoli and cauliflower into bite-sized florets, slice the carrots into thin rounds, dice the red bell pepper, and slice the zucchini into half-moons.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the prepared vegetables with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated.
Transfer the vegetable mixture into a large baking dish, spreading them out evenly.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil from the baking dish and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the vegetables.
In a small bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese, Panko breadcrumbs, and chopped parsley. Sprinkle this mixture over the cheddar-covered vegetables for a crunchy topping.
Return the baking dish to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the topping is golden brown.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or a light main course. Enjoy your Cheesy Vegetable Medley!
