Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Rinse and scrub the baby potatoes under running water to remove any dirt, then pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Halve any large potatoes to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, fresh rosemary leaves, fresh thyme leaves, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well to form a herb and spice mixture.
Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss them well until they are thoroughly coated with the olive oil and herb mix.
Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they don't overlap for even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy around the edges. Flip the potatoes halfway through the cook time to promote even browning.
Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle lemon zest over the top. Toss gently to distribute the zest evenly.
Serve the low sodium olive oil roasted potatoes warm as a flavorful side dish.
