Roast Vegetable Paella image

A coworker of my husband from Spain made this one year at the company Christmas party. I never got to get the exact recipe, but I worked on it, and this is pretty close to what she made. It's really good, and even though paella usually has meat and seafood. This is so good, you don't even need it, but you could add, seafood, chorizo, ham or any kind of meat you like.
