Jump to Recipe

These roasted potatoes are a low histamine favorite—tender on the inside, crisp on the outside, and seasoned with gut-friendly herbs like rosemary and thyme. There’s no vinegar, citrus, or aged seasonings—just fresh ingredients and natural flavors. Garlic is optional for those who tolerate it. This is a side dish that’s satisfying, easy to prepare, and suitable for heart-healthy, inflammation-reducing diets.

Ingredients Needed:

• 3 lbs petite potatoes: 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, halved
• ¼ cup olive oil: coats and crisps the potatoes
• 3–4 cloves garlic, minced: optional, omit if sensitive
• 1 tsp fresh rosemary, minced: earthy and aromatic
• 1½ tsp fresh thyme, minced: adds brightness
• Salt to taste: sea salt or Himalayan
• Pepper (optional): only if tolerated

How To Make Low Histamine Herb Roasted Potatoes

Preheat the Oven:
Set oven to 425°F (220°C).

Prep the Potatoes:
Halve the potatoes. If larger than 1.5 inches, cut into smaller pieces.

Season the Potatoes:
On one or two large sheet pans, toss the potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic (if using), rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper (if tolerated).
