Begin by cutting the paneer into 1-inch cubes.
In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cumin powder, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Add the paneer cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl and let the paneer marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables by cutting the bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion into similar 1-inch pieces.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated paneer cubes and cut vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between paneer and vegetables.
Once preheated, place the skewers on the grill. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes until the paneer is golden brown and the vegetables are tender.
Remove the skewers from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve immediately.
