Lentil Veggie Patties

Lentil Veggie Burger
1/2 cup black lentils
1 small roasted beet, shredded
2 med/small carrots, sredded
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder or flakes
1 tsp cumin
1/4 cup flax seed, ground

Cook the lentils, covering them in 1" water, until soft ~30-40 min? It probably would be faster to cook in the pressure cooker.
While the lentils are cooking combine the remaining ingredients in a medium bowl.
When the lentils are soft, drain remaining water.
Add the lentils to the vegetable-spice mixture and mash with the back of a spoon until you have a consistency of thick mashed potatoes.
Preheat the oven to 425F.
Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Scoop out about 1/3 cup of the mixture and form into a patty shape then place onto the baking sheet.
Bake for about 20-25 minutes then flip and bake another 5-10 minutes.
