Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 1 minute.
Step 2
Add diced bell pepper and zucchini. Sauté, stirring often, until edges soften and begin to brown, ~5 minutes.
Step 3
Add rice, saffron, and paprika. Stir for 1 minute until fragrant and rice starts to toast slightly.
Step 4
Pour in vegetable broth and canned tomatoes with their juice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low.
Step 5
Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, ~12 minutes.
Step 6
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot, drizzle with olive oil if desired.
