Vegetable paella takes inspiration from traditional Spanish-style paella but leaves out the meat and fish and adds extra veggies instead. Our version features peppers, red chile, tomato, and green beans, plus a ton of herbs and spices so that there’s no shortage of flavor. And if you’ve never tried paella, allow us to introduce you to this vibrant Spanish rice dish that originated in the eastern coastal city of Valencia...

Traditional paella is typically loaded with seafood, chicken, or meat like spicy chorizo (or a combo!) and it always features an abundance of perfectly cooked rice. Better yet, it’s made and served in one pot, which makes it an ideal pick for a weeknight meal. This vegetarian version is perfect for Meatless Mondays or any day of the week that you feel like getting a little more greens. Plus, this is a dairy-free and vegan recipe, so it fits into a variety of diets. Basically, there’s no reason not to try out this delicious, easy rice dish!

How to make homemade paella

-Traditional paella is made in a paella pan, but it’s not necessary for this recipe. Just make sure you have a large (12-inch) skillet. We prefer cast iron because it retains heat and helps form a delicious crust on the bottom of the rice.

-While we prefer Arborio rice for paella, you can experiment with different types of short- or medium-grain rice if that’s all you have on hand. Read the package’s directions to adjust the cooking time and amount of liquid needed. Note that certain varieties, like brown rice, will take significantly longer to cook.

-For an added protein boost, stir in a can of chickpeas (rinsed) before serving.
