What is the oven used for? I can't see where you put anything in it after you heat it??
 
Although it isn't mentioned, I guess one roasts the veg in the oven and one can only assume what veg to use from the photo of the dish. Looks like pumpkin, sweet potato and carrots.
 
Looks nice with the roasted vegetables.
I love roasting vegies in the air fryer.
Always turns out yummy.
 
It says to preheat oven to 190 deg but doesn't mention what goes in the oven 🤔

It says roast vegies but doesn't say what vegies or how to roast them
I know how to but others following this recipe might not know how to 😉

Can you use or have you ever used fresh kale in this recipe

Oops! Forgot all about the roast veggies! Thanks!
