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:
- 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.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender asparagus spears with tightly closed tips and no woody ends.

- Garnish the roasted asparagus spears with grated Parmesan cheese, chopped garlic, and lemon zest before serving.
