Begin by preparing the marinade. In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, ground black pepper, and salt. Whisk the ingredients until they are well mixed.
Cut the seitan into 1-inch cubes and add them to the marinade. Stir until the seitan pieces are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and let the seitan marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for stronger flavor.
While the seitan is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Cut the bell peppers and red onion into 1-inch squares. Slice the zucchini into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Once the seitan is marinated, assemble the kebabs by threading pieces of seitan, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, zucchini, and onion onto the skewers, alternating as you go.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook them for about 12-15 minutes, turning every few minutes to ensure even cooking. The vegetables should be charred and tender, and the seitan should be heated through.
Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve hot with a side of your favorite salad or grain.
