Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with a small amount of olive oil or cooking spray.
Thinly slice the zucchini, yellow squash, and carrots into rounds approximately 1/4-inch thick. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced zucchini, yellow squash, carrots, and broccoli florets.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables. Add the minced garlic, parsley, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Toss the veggies thoroughly to ensure even coating.
Spread the seasoned vegetables in the prepared casserole dish, arranging them in an even layer.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the vegetables.
In a small bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese and Panko breadcrumbs.
Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave or saucepan and drizzle it over the breadcrumb mixture. Stir to coat evenly.
Spread the breadcrumb mixture over the cheese layer, ensuring an even distribution.
Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy.
Allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
