Baked Leek Almond Bites

Green Beans
Place fresh or frozen green beans in a compatible pot (depends on the quantity you are about to cook), and fill up the pot with enough water to cover the beans. Bring it to boil, and then cook on medium heat for about 10 minutes. Discard the water, while keeping the beans in the pot. Generously drizzle extra-virgin olive oil, and add garlic-salt for an easy seasoning. You can instead mince 2 fresh garlic cloves and add it with salt to the pot. Mix well.
