Potatoes are a key ingredient in low sodium cooking as they naturally have zero sodium. Vegetables like tomatoes and even celery have naturally occurring salt in them, but not potatoes! This bright and tangy low sodium side dish comes together in about 30 minutes.
The wonderful part of this Greek-inspired dish is that it leans on simple, bright flavors. Every single bite of this low salt side dish is bursting with tangy citrus and savory garlic, with just a hint of crispiness from roasting. In fact, these potatoes are so tasty they are capable of stealing the show from any food they accompany.
You can play with the different types of potatoes for this dish. Fingerling potatoes or multi-colored miniature potatoes…it doesn’t matter because they will all taste amazing because the lemon and garlic in this version really shine through.
Low Sodium Lemon-Garlic Roasted Potatoes
These low sodium garlic lemon potatoes are loaded with flavor and come together in about 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 12 Yukon gold mini potatoes
- 2 tablespoons of minced garlic or 6 medium cloves freshly grated
- 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
- Scrub potatoes under cold water to clean them, then pat dry to remove excess moisture.
- Quarter or half your potatoes and place them into a large bowl.
- Add olive oil, garlic, black pepper, and juice from one lemon. Zest your lemon halves over the bowl using a grater until you add about 1 teaspoon of lemon zest.
- Toss potatoes to ensure everything is fully coated.
- Transfer everything into a baking tray lined with parchment paper, ensuring all potatoes are in a single layer. Drizzle any of the lemon juice and olive oil left in the bowl over the potatoes & garlic.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes in a 425-degree oven until potatoes are perfectly roasted.
Notes
If you want all the cut sides to have crispy caramelization, start all the potatoes cut-side-down and finish them cut-side-up. This has no effect on flavor or texture.
