Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Mix ground lamb with finely chopped onion, garlic, parsley, cumin, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.

Knead the mixture for about 5 minutes until well combined and sticky.

Divide the mixture into equal portions and mold around skewers, shaping into long kebabs.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Brush the kebabs with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Place the kebabs on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through.

During the last few minutes, add halved tomatoes and bell peppers to the grill.

Remove the kebabs and vegetables from the grill and let rest for a few minutes.

Serve the kebabs with grilled vegetables and warm pita bread.
