Snap the bottoms off of the asparagus. This is done by holding the asparagus by the very end and midway up the stalk. Then snap.

Mix together the garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice in a shallow dish, big enough to hold the asparagus. Mix asparagus and olive oil mixture well.

Bake in the oven at 350 for approx 40 minutes while cooking other items - or - cook at your desired temperature and adjust cooking time. Toss the asparagus half way through cooking.

Grate fresh parmesan cheese on top just prior to serving.
