Do you eat seafood and dairy products ?
I get quite a lot from eggs and seafood but if you don't you shouldn't have issues getting enough iron if you are careful.

A quick google search will give you plenty of ideas.

Spinach. My sister eats it daily and had never had any iron issues.

I have kale and spinach to help boost iron intake.

Spinach I blend up in smoothies. For kale I either have Kale chips or chop it up and mix with some chopped brussel sprouts, cabbage, carrots, dried fruit, nuts and poppyseed dressing and make a huge salad.

Iron is better absorbed with some vitamin C. Berry spinach salad......yum!

I was a vegetarian for 10 years but I'm not anymore. I agree on the spinach but I also get a decent amount from black beans or kidney beans. I buy the dried ones.

Apart from the sprouts I enjoy all of your suggestions so will increase them into my diet.
