"She is vegetarian" uses vegetarian as an adjective. Articles can only be applied to nouns. In "She is a vegetarian", vegetarian is a noun and can take an article. The same applies to "He is [an] Italian". I've added an answer to our canonical question: thank you for raising the distinction. – Andrew Leach Sep 09 '20 at 06:44
