Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Cut the large, wooden ends off of the asparagus and lay in a single layer in a 9x13 baking dish. In a small bowl, combine olive oil and lemon juice then pour over asparagus. Toss asparagus to coat well and then arrange them in a single layer again. Sprinkle on minced garlic. Then sprinkle with Parmesano Reggiano cheese and any salt and pepper as desired. Roast in oven for about 20 minutes or until the desired cooked softness is achieved.

Best when served hot.
