Preparation Steps
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Place the asparagus on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Drizzle the asparagus with olive oil and add the minced garlic, salt, and pepper; toss around to combine.
- Put the baking sheet in the oven and roast the asparagus for about 10 to 12 minutes or until crisp-tender.

- Remove the asparagus from the oven and top it with the cheddar, monterey jack, and feta cheeses. Place it back in the oven and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
