Place the green beans in a big bowl, then add olive oil and salt. Toss to mix well. Spread the green beans onto the air fryer tray with as little overlap as possible. You might need to cook them in two batches. Air fry for 4 to 5 minutes, until the green beans are blistered but have not turned soft.

Remove the air fryer tray. If you are cooking in two batches, add back the first batch of blistered green beans. Add the garlic, soy sauce and chili oil, if using. Toss a few times to mix well. Arrange the green beans so they’re spread out evenly with minimal overlap. Keep air frying for another 2 to 3 minutes, until the green beans have reached the desired doneness.
