Break off the tough ends on the asparagus and discard.
Arrange the asparagus spears in a single layer on previously prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat.
Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with minced garlic; rub over the asparagus with your hands to evenly coat.
Roast for 10 to 15 minutes, or until tender but crisp. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the spears; start checking for doneness around the 10 minute mark.

Notes
Asparagus cooking time: Roast the asparagus at 400˚F for 10 to 15 minutes for thinner stalks or 15 to 20 minutes for thicker stalks, or until they are fork-tender.
Hollandaise sauce is not included in the Nutritional Analysis.
To store: Cooked asparagus keeps well in the fridge for 3-4 days. Let it cool to room temperature, then store it separately from the Hollandaise sauce in an airtight container.
To reheat: I recommend using your oven to reheat roasted asparagus. If you use the microwave, it can get soggy. Preheat your oven to 350˚F and spread the asparagus on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Heat for about 5 minutes until warmed through.
