In a medium mixing bowl, combine sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic powder, black pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, and grated fresh ginger.
Add the fresh green beans to the bowl and toss to coat them thoroughly in the marinade.
Let the green beans rest in the marinade for 5 minutes.
Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C).
Place half of the marinated green beans in the air fryer basket.
Air fry at 390°F (200°C) for 8 minutes, opening and shaking the air fryer basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Repeat the process with the remaining marinated green beans.
Once all the green beans are cooked, serve immediately.
