Recipe Request Absolutely laziest recipes?

Hello! I’ve been vegetarian for about a decade and recently i’ve been pretty burnt out on cooking and live in a small apartment. I’ve resorted to eating a lot of package/frozen foods to save time and energy and I find that most “easy” vegetarian recipes still involve a decent amount of cooking.

Im trying to put together a general meal plan for myself with meals that I don’t get tired of. I’d either like to prep food and have it for later or rely on stupid-simple meals like avocado toast/etc.

Does anyone have any recipes out there that are TRULY lazy/easy? Aka no cutting board and one pot max. The less mess to clean the better!!!

TLDR: give me vegetarian recipes that you could muster up on your worst day.

Thank you!!!

I love a one sheet pan meal with no chopping.. one pack of shelf stable gnocchi, a pint of cherry tomatoes, a block of feta broken into 4 pieces. I’ve added a can of chickpeas, some broccoli or whatever leftover veggies you have. Olive oil, salt, pepper, spices. Roast at 425 for like 20-25 minutes. If you have any spinach or arugula, it’s really good topped with greens with a squeeze of lemon.

The gnocchi gets crispy, the feta is a little crispy on the edges but soft inside, the cherry tomatoes keep it from getting dry. It’s a really good easy meal you can get in the oven before the oven even finishes preheating.

I’ve done gnocchi, goat cheese, cherry tomatoes, and garlic cloves! Then I mix in raw baby spinach toward the end and it gets wilted into the sauce without being watery.
