1
Trim the Haricot Verts
Using a sharp knife, trim the ends of the haricot verts by cutting off the stem ends. Rinse them under cold water and set aside.

2
Blanch the Beans
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the trimmed haricot verts and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Immediately drain and plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
3
Sauté the Garlic
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
4
Combine and Season
Drain the haricot verts from the ice water and add them to the skillet with the sautéed garlic. Toss to coat the beans in the garlic butter. Season with salt and black pepper, and drizzle in the lemon juice. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
