Where the calorie saving actually comes from

Deep frying works by immersion, and the food absorbs a meaningful amount of that oil. Air frying uses a teaspoon or two as a browning aid rather than a cooking medium, so almost none is absorbed.

For chips that difference is somewhere around a 70-80% cut in fat for a comparable crust. That is the whole health claim - it is a real one, but it applies to the cooking method, not to the food.

Keeping nutrients in vegetables

Short cook times and no water help here. Boiling leaches water-soluble vitamins straight into the pan; air frying keeps them in the food, and 10-12 minutes is far less exposure than a 45-minute roast.

Use the minimum oil that still coats everything - about a teaspoon per basket. Less than that and the vegetables dehydrate and turn leathery rather than roasting, which helps nobody.
