Wash and trim the asparagus by snapping or cutting off the woody ends.
In a large resealable plastic bag or mixing bowl, combine the trimmed asparagus, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the asparagus is evenly coated.
Arrange the asparagus in a single layer in the air fryer basket or tray. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking.
Set the air fryer to 400°F and cook the asparagus for 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the asparagus is tender, crisp, and slightly browned.
Sprinkle the asparagus with grated Parmesan cheese, then cook for 1 additional minute to melt the cheese.
Serve immediately while hot.
