Add diced bell pepper and zucchini; cook for another 5 minutes until softened.

Stir in chopped tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes until slightly thickened.

Add rice, paprika, and saffron; mix well to coat the rice with oil and vegetables.

Pour in vegetable broth and bring to a boil.

Season with salt and black pepper; stir to combine.

Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil.

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

Remove from oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Garnish with peas and chopped parsley before serving.
