Wash and peel (if needed) all the vegetables.
Cut the carrots and red potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Slice the zucchini and yellow squash into half-moons. Trim the ends off the green beans.
Mince the garlic cloves.
In a crock pot, add the carrots, red potatoes, zucchini, yellow squash, and green beans in an even layer.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables.
Sprinkle the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and dried thyme evenly over the vegetables.
Pour the vegetable broth into the crock pot to prevent the vegetables from drying out during cooking.
Cover the crock pot with a lid and set it to low heat. Cook for 4 hours, or until the vegetables are tender but not mushy.
Once cooked, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Gently stir the vegetables to mix the flavors before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm.
