Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
Wash and slice the zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes, and potatoes into thin, even rounds (about 1/4 inch thick).
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Mince the garlic and sauté in the oil for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat.
Arrange the vegetable slices in the prepared baking dish, alternating zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes, and potatoes in a shingled pattern. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and dried thyme.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the gluten-free all-purpose flour and whisk continuously to form a roux, cooking for 1–2 minutes.
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking to prevent lumps. Continue cooking and whisking until the mixture thickens, about 3–5 minutes.
Stir in the shredded Gruyère cheese and half of the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Pour this cheese sauce evenly over the vegetables in the baking dish.
In a small bowl, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, the remaining Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the gratin.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the topping is golden brown and crisp.
Remove the gratin from the oven and let it rest for 5–10 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley, if desired.
