1-1/2 pounds fresh asparagus spears
2 to 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Snap off and discard woody bases from asparagus.

Place asparagus and garlic in a 15 x 10 x 1 inch baking pan.

Drizzle with oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.

In a 450 degree oven, roast for 10 to 15 minutes or until asparagus is crisp tender, stirring once halfway through roasting.

Serve immediately.
