If needed, preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees. Then program the air fryer for 7 minutes at 400 degrees.
Once the cooking time is complete, plate the asparagus and top with the juice from half a lemon and the remaining parmesan cheese. Serve immediately or at room temperature.

Notes

If you're cooking thicker, rounder asparagus, add 1-2 more minutes to the cooking time.
