Vegetables cooked in right timing will give a crunchy texture otherwise over cooked will give a soft texture.

What texture should be used in sentence above? Are them used correctly?

What [STRIKE]texture[/STRIKE] adjectives should be used in the sentence above? Are [STRIKE]them[/STRIKE] they used correctly?

"Crunchy" and "soft" are acceptable adjectives to use with vegetables. They are crunchy when they are raw or lightly cooked and go soft (or mushy) when cooked for longer.

However, "Vegetables cooked in right timing" is not grammatical. "Otherwise" was not used correctly either. Try to rewrite your sentence using alternative words/phrases.

Vegetables cooked just right and not overcooked remain crunchy whereas over-cooking makes them mushy.

I don't think the adjective, 'crunchy' goes with 'texture'.

It may seem unnecessary, but crunchy texture is fine for me too.
