Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
Wash and dry all vegetables. Cut the zucchini into thick rounds, about 1/2 inch each.
Slice the red bell peppers into square pieces, roughly the same size as the zucchini rounds.
Peel the red onion and cut it into wedges, ensuring the layers remain intact for easy skewering.
Rinse the cremini mushrooms and pat dry. Leave them whole.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, sea salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
Place all the chopped vegetables and mushrooms into a large mixing bowl. Pour the marinade over the vegetables and toss until evenly coated.
Thread the marinated vegetables and mushrooms onto the soaked skewers, alternating the variety to create a colorful presentation.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Cook the kebabs on the grill for 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes to ensure even char and tenderness. Alternatively, roast the kebabs in a preheated oven at 425Β°F (220Β°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Serve the kebabs warm, optionally garnished with a squeeze of additional lemon juice or fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro.
