1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, pressed through a garlic press
¼ teaspoon freshly cracked mixed peppercorns
1 ½ cups shredded Gouda cheese

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread out asparagus on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with olive oil, fresh garlic, and cracked peppercorns. Toss to coat evenly.
