Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until translucent.
Add the red bell pepper, zucchini, and broccoli florets. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the vegetables.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Remove the skillet from heat and let it sit, uncovered, for 2 minutes to cool slightly.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
