Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
Wash the yellow squash, zucchini, and potatoes thoroughly. Trim the ends, and slice each vegetable into roughly 1/4-inch-thick rounds.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced squash, zucchini, and potatoes. Add the minced garlic, thyme leaves, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Lightly grease a baking dish or sheet pan. Arrange the vegetables in an even layer, overlapping slightly if necessary.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil, stir the vegetables gently, and continue baking uncovered for another 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the edges of the squash and zucchini start to brown slightly.
If desired, sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the vegetables during the last 5 minutes of baking for an added layer of flavor.
Remove from the oven and let the dish cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy as a side dish or as a standalone vegetarian meal.
