Prep the asparagus
- Hold one asparagus spear with one hand on each end. Bend up and away from you, towards the flat end of the spear. When it snaps, use that spear as a guideline and chop the rest of the spears to match it in length.

Toss and bake
- Add chopped asparagus to a large mixing bowl and add in oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Use your hands to mix it well, making sure all the spears are coated.
- Spread spears onto prepared baking sheet in a single even layer and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until asparagus can be easily pierced with a fork. Thinner asparagus spears may be done in about 10 minutes, so keep your eye on them.
- If desired, sprinkle with some grated Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
Notes
- Calorie count shared is an estimate for 1 serving without the cheese.
