Garlic Roasted Asparagus with Parmesan

My favorite way to cook asparagus is to roast them in the oven. It's extremely easy and yet incredibly flavorful with simple ingredients. Usually, it involves garlic, shallots or Parmesan cheese. I resorted to Ina's recipe tonight and added extra garlic on top. It was the perfect side dish.
