Steps:
- In a 12-inch skillet, over medium, heat the oil.
- Add the garlic and cook until crisp and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Careful not to burn. Burnt garlic tastes bitter. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the garlic to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside. Add the butter to the skillet and set over medium-high. When the butter has melted, add half of the asparagus with the tips pointing in one direction, and the remaining spears pointing in the opposite direction. (This improves browning.) Sprinkle the asparagus with 1/4 teaspoons salt; using tongs, arrange the spears in an even layer. (They won't quite fit into a single layer.) Cover and cook until the spears are bright green and still crisp, about 5 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper, then transfer the asparagus to a serving plate. Sprinkle with the toasted garlic and Parmesan cheese. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Coat the head of garlic with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place on a baking sheet, and roast 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown. Once the garlic is roasted, cut the head in half horizontally, exposing all the cloves. Squeeze both halves into a bowl, discarding any skin. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- While the garlic is roasting, place the minced shallot in a bowl with the balsamic and red wine vinegars for about 30 minutes to let the flavors blend. Whisk in remaining olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Place asparagus spears in the mixture until ready to grill.
- Preheat grill for medium-high heat.
- Place asparagus in a large skillet or directly on the grill. Grill the asparagus, turning over once, until tender, about 10 minutes. While asparagus is grilling, spread the roasted garlic mixture on the bread. Grill bread until toasted. Arrange the bread and asparagus on a plate, and drizzle with the remaining shallot and vinegar mixture.

Steps:
- 1. Heat oil and garlic in small saucepan over low heat until garlic is golden. Make sure you don't burn garlic!
- 2. Remove woody ends from asparagus by gently bending until end snaps off.
- 3. Place asparagus on baking pan and coat with oil and garlic. Push asparagus together and season with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
- 4. Roast at 400 degrees for 12 minutes.
Tips:
- Choose thick asparagus spears: Thicker spears are less likely to overcook.
- Trim the asparagus properly: Cut off the tough, woody ends of the asparagus spears.
- Toss the asparagus with olive oil and salt before roasting: This will help the asparagus to brown and caramelize.
- Roast the asparagus at a high temperature: This will help the asparagus to cook quickly and evenly.
- Add garlic cloves to the roasting pan: The garlic will infuse the asparagus with flavor.
- Roast the asparagus until it is tender-crisp: You should be able to easily pierce the asparagus with a fork, but it should still have a slight crunch.
- Serve the asparagus immediately: Roasted asparagus is best served fresh out of the oven.
