• Preheat oven to 400 F.
• Trim asparagus ends. Place asparagus in a medium-size baking dish, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Top with minced garlic.
• Roast, uncovered, in the preheated oven at 400 F for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven.
• Add Blue cheese all over asparagus. Then, add chopped cooked bacon.
• Roast for 5 more minutes, uncovered, at 400 F. Serve immediately while the cheese is nice and melty!

Notes:

• Pre-prepare the ingredients: Cook bacon in advance, drain it and chop it. Chop or mince fresh garlic. Shred the cheese.
• Do not overcook the asparagus: Roast the asparagus for no more than a total of 20 minutes. Make sure the oven is preheated to 400 F. Add the cheese and cooked bacon only during the last 5 minutes.
• Storage: Refrigerate this side dish in an air-tight container for up to 3 days.
• How to reheat: Reheat it briefly in the microwave oven to melt the cheese. Or bake it briefly in a regular oven right before serving.
