1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Place the asparagus into a mixing bowl and drizzle the veggie with olive oil. Then toss to coat the spears and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper and garlic. Arrange the asparagus on a baking sheet and make sure they are lined up in a single layer.
