Preheat the oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
In a small pot, over medium low heat, cook the olive oil, garlic, onion powder and parsley. Cook until the mixture is fragrant, but not brown, about 3 minutes.
Place the asparagus in a single layer on the baking sheet. Pour the olive oil mixture evenly over the asparagus. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste.
Roast for 8-10 minutes or until the asparagus are bright green and tender, yet crispy.
Serve immediately.
