Gather the ingredients.

Add asparagus, olive oil, water, and garlic to a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Cook for about 2 minutes uncovered, or until water has almost evaporated.

2 min

Toss asparagus with tongs, cover pan, and cook for 1 minute. Remove lid and toss the asparagus again. Put lid back on and repeat until asparagus are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. The asparagus may brown slightly in spots, which adds to the pan-roasted flavor.

5 min

Add lemon juice and toss to combine. Remove garlic, and taste to adjust salt and pepper. Serve hot with shaved Parmesan, if desired.
