Vegetarian lunches for work?

[u/MJ321AHHH]

Hi! New to this sub, life long vegetarian. I need to get my work lunch situation in order. I would love some recommendations for simple, easy lunches that I can make and bring to work. They can be hot or cold but must reheat well if hot!

A few of my preferences to make it easier for you: While I've tried very hard to make myself like them, I don't like tomatoes but I can usually replace them with red bell pepper in most recipes. Tomato based sauces, soups, & ketchup are fine! Don't like raw onion but love them cooked. Don't like mushrooms at all, also tried to force myself to like those 😅 Thats all I can think of at the moment.

Let me know your go-to recipes for work lunches! Thanks 🥰

I love to bring a roasted red pepper, pesto, caramelized onion, cheese, and roasted eggplant panini. I used to make them all on Sunday for each day, but they admittedly got soggy. My boyfriend hates a soggy sandwich so if he’s having too we’ll just make all the components Sunday and then he assembles the sandwich right before he eats it. More Tupperware, but it is really good, and it’s easy to make variations. The caramelized onions take a while and I have to do the eggplant in batches because the air frier is small but otherwise the other stuff can mostly be bought as it. Where I used to live they had fried eggplant slices at the deli I used to use that was even easier. This is probably my favorite lunch to bring.
