Sweet potatoes and other root veggies, lotsa broccoli peppers carrots and kale are good starters. Just buy a bunch of stuff and then figure out what to do with it. I hate when folks pick out a recipe and then go shopping for those items. You will get alot more creative with a buncha fun colors in your veggie basket that you have no idea what to do with. You will figure it out. I eat mostly nut and veggies along with some proteins. Havent touched rices, pastas, grains, sugars, dairy, alcohol or processed foods in 2 years without a look back. Actually closing in on a decade sans alcohol. never felt better

4winds hit on a good one: dont be afraid to throw fruits into the mix, ie: apples in the salad. One of my faves is a kale salad with apples and pecans with a dressing made by blending EVOO with ACV, a garlic clove, a fresh jalapeno, lemon juice, a handful of cashews and some fresh ground salt and pepper
Cut some brussel sprouts in half, marinate in extra virgin oo for a while. Bake at 300 for bout 20-30 minutes. Pute on a plate and sprinkle some balsomic vinegar on them and eat
Here are links from modernist enthusiasts of Oshawa 'Zen Macrobiotic' dietary principles.
I read the Book back in the 1980's and tried it for a while, and it's just fine.
Bob Weir speaks of the ZM in ancient interviews ...
Bob Dylan showed his awareness with the lyric "...I get brown rice, seaweed and a dirty hot dog..."
I'll go a few days with just salads, carrots, potatoes (w/ Butter) and no meat or Fish, and feel just fine. But Zen Macrobiotic says no Nightshades, which would be Potatoes, Tomatoes, Eggplant and some other thing.
Good luck with the 'Plant-Based' diet. If I'm quitting anything it's usually toxic USA commercial Wheat products. Too much glyphosate in that shiite.
If I eat a few baked Russets or Red Potatoes, the energy is long-term, but I want a Nap afterwards. Fish or Cow is more suitable for immediate battery charging.
So if i chop up that leftover Baked Potato for home-fries in the AM, with a Egg & Bacon, the Potato still makes me sleepy, even after Coffee.
Maybe that is why 'Nightshades' are verboten in Zen Macro Diet.

I can get by with Brown Rice
I can get by with Brown Rice & Vegetables just fine if I'm not doing anything too physically demanding.
But lately, my hobby has been re-rocking the driveway, and nearby the Quarry I get gravel, the Thai place has a yummy Thai Beef Salad.
Very tasty, to the point where I find good excuses to go get more rock, just to get the Yummy snack.
I find that a few forks gives me energy enough to spread that gravel, compared to a few baked Russets.
