Season the Asparagus
Place the trimmed asparagus spears on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the asparagus. Toss gently to coat all spears evenly.

Roast the Asparagus
Spread the asparagus in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and slightly crispy on the edges. Check for doneness at 12 minutes.
