Season with organic garlic powder, organic dried oregano, organic smoked paprika, organic sea salt, and organic black pepper. Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.

While the seitan and vegetables are marinating, prepare the Hemp Tahini Sauce. In a blender or food processor, combine the organic tahini, organic hemp seeds, fresh organic lemon juice, minced organic garlic, organic ground cumin, and organic sea salt. Blend until smooth. Gradually add cold filtered water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the sauce reaches a creamy, pourable consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes prior to prevent burning. Thread the marinated seitan and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating ingredients for an appealing presentation.

Grill the skewers for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the seitan is lightly browned and the vegetables are tender-crisp with nice grill marks. Be careful not to overcook the seitan, as it can become tough.

Remove the skewers from the grill and arrange them on a serving platter. Drizzle generously with the Hemp Tahini Sauce. Garnish with freshly chopped organic parsley and organic mint for a burst of freshness and vibrant color. Serve immediately.
