Steps

1

Preheat oven to 400°F
2

Coat baking dish with thin layer of olive oil (about one tablespoon)
3

Cut asparagus ends down and discard (pieces should be no more than 5")
4

Lay asparagus in dish as a single layer or thin layer depending on your dish size
5

Pour remaining olive oil over asparagus - use as much or as little as your heart desires here. If you use a small amount your asparagus will be more crisp, less and they will be softer (too much or cook too long and they can be mushy so don't make this an asparagus soup)
6

Sprinkle fresh garlic, garlic salt, and Parmesan cheese across the top (if making a double batch, I toss all of this through the asparagus so all pieces have ingredients on them)
7

Bake for about 20 minutes. Sprinkle bacon and bake 5 more minutes. (If using fresh bacon, bake the full cooking time and use less oil). Enjoy!

This recipe works well for green beans as well!
