Maybe the verb conjugation was incorrect. אתה אוכל when speaking to a male, את אוכלת when speaking to a female.

Nope, Duo gives you credit for being close but still corrects you so that you can do better next time.

You can get verbal pronunciations at Forvo. https://forvo.com/search/עגבניות, or עגבנייה. Basically pronounced agvaniah or agvaniote, depending if singular or plural.

The conjugation אוכלת would work with a feminine subject, here, either את (singular) or אתן (plural). For the former, אוכלת would be pronounced as okhélet, and for the latter, okhlót.

Saying in general that word order doesn't matter isn't correct. There are situations where it doesn't matter, but there are also others, where it does matter. You simply can't say עגבניות סלט, just like you can't say "salad tomato" in English.

The אתה is the masculine form of you and את is the feminine form of you, which is confusing, but this is why אוכל is using the masculine form of the verb.
