These easy low sodium Roasted Root Vegetables are warm, crisp, and have the easiest and most delicious dressing.  I’m a HUGE fan of homemade dressings- they transform anything you are cooking into something gourmet.  I have an easy low sodium vinaigrette dressing recipe, which is my go-to for salads!  While you can eat these veggies on their own, the bright tart dressing takes plain vegetables to the next level.

These roasted root vegetables with rosemary and thyme are one of our absolute, hands down, all time favorite meals! They’re my hubby’s #1 favorite, for sure.  We could eat this for a month straight and not get sick of it, they are that good!  This recipe is adapted from Yottam Ottolenghi’s Roasted Root Vegetables from his Plenty Cookbook, but I changed the dressing a bit to remove the added high-salt ingredients!

Low Sodium Sheet Pan Vegetables For a Healthy, Whole Dinner

This low sodium roasted vegetables with thyme and rosemary is the perfect sheet pan meal!  I love a good one pan meal, especially during these fall months when the weather starts to turn cooler. Cooking on a sheet pan is one of my favorite ways to get a meal on the table fast!  All the food gets spiced and roasted on a single pan, which makes cleaning up a breeze.

And the oven does all the work for you, so you can focus on other kitchen prep while the food cooks. Sheet Pan meals are awesome for breakfast, lunch, or dinner – check out all our easy low sodium sheet pan meals that are ready in no time!

Ingredients You’ll Need

See the recipe card below for a full list of instructions and ingredient amounts!

  • Sweet Potato
  • White, Red, or Purple Potatoes – or a tricolor mix you can find at grocery stores. We grew about 30 lbs of purple potatoes in our garden, which were perfect for this gorgeous dish.
  • Rosemary & thyme
  • Carrots, Beets, Butternut Squash, Onion, Garlic
  • Tomatoes
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Lemon Juice
  • Low Sodium Mustard – my no salt mustard recipe is sodium & salt free, which makes it the perfect addition to this recipe. I got a fantastic low sodium whole ground mustard from Thrive Market that I am loving in this dressing. You could also add mustard powder instead.
  • Maple Syrup
