2 10-ounce bunches asparagus woody ends removed
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic minced
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons butter thinly sliced
1 large lemon juiced

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400° Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Stir the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper together in a small bowl until the mixture is well combined.
Arrange the asparagus in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Place the thinly sliced butter evenly on top of the asparagus spears.
Spoon the olive oil and garlic mixture over the asparagus. Use your hands or tongs to coat each spear evenly with the mixture.
Roast the asparagus for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the spears are crisp tender and reach your preferred doneness.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the roasted asparagus. Add grated Parmesan cheese if desired and serve immediately while the asparagus is still hot.
