I’m looking for a vegan sandwich protein recipe that is more of a whole food than the highly processed food that is often found in stores. So far, I’m going to try out lentil patties. I figure I can freeze a batch and stick them in the air fryer as needed. Any other ideas?

Since all my suggestions were already mentioned here, I will ask a kind of off-topic question: Why are looking into “protein” ingredients specifically? So what are you looking for / trying to achieve with protein intake?
Like Greger says, if you are eating plants and you are getting enough calories you are automatically getting enough protein!
Yes this is true, but only if you almost exclusively eat WHOLEFOOD plant based with only little added fats.
I generally agree with the underlying sentiment that it is not too complicated to get your needed protein on a plant diet, but it is totally possible to not reach the recommended amount if you are just eating random stuff.
Which recommendation? The official ones are heavily influenced by the US farming lobby.
