Not all recipes for Oil Down call for so many veggies. Breadfruit is a necessary addition as are the green bananas and greens (spinach or callaloo).  The okra, pumpkin, and carrots were added at the recommendation of a few different videos. Some other videos mentioned adding corn on the cob if you’d prefer.  Some sources say that adding carrots is not recommended because this is not a native Caribbean ingredient. Other Grenadians say that they always add carrots. This is up to you to decide.
