Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the asparagus on the baking sheet.

Step 2

Drizzle the olive oil on top of the asparagus and add the garlic, salt and pepper. Use your hands and toss the asparagus to coat.

Step 3

Bake until the asparagus starts to soften, about 8 minutes. Add the mozzarella cheese, and return the asparagus to broil until the cheese becomes golden and melty, about 2-3 more minutes. Serve immediately.
