Ingredients

• 400 grams Seitan (pre-cooked)
• 2 large Bell peppers (assorted colors)
• 1 large Red onion
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 16 pieces Cherry tomatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 8 pieces Bamboo skewers

Directions

Step 1

If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.

Step 2

Cut the seitan into bite-sized chunks, approximately 1-inch cubes.

Step 3

Slice the bell peppers into 1.5-inch squares. Chop the red onion into similar-sized wedges. Cut the zucchini into thick slices, approximately 1/2-inch thick.

Step 4

In a large bowl, prepare the marinade by mixing olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, black pepper, and salt.

Step 5

Add the seitan chunks, bell peppers, red onion, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes to the bowl with the marinade. Toss well to ensure all pieces are evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes; for deeper flavor, marinate for up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

Step 6

Preheat your grill or oven. For grilling, heat to medium-high heat. For oven baking, preheat to 400°F (200°C).

Step 7

Thread the marinated seitan and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating ingredients for a colorful presentation.

Step 8

If using a grill, lightly oil the grates, then cook the kabobs for 3-4 minutes on each side, rotating occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred. If baking, arrange the skewers on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway through cooking time.

Step 9

Remove from heat and serve warm. These kabobs pair well with quinoa, rice, or a fresh salad.
