A recent regular around here has been a similar thing with plain old potatoes. Actually, the trick is to find a good roasting potato. We like Rooster and Arran Victory, but those are Irish and Scottish so they may not be available in the states.
For seasoning we do a bit of salt and pepper with a changing mix of onion granules, garlic powder, paprika and turmeric. If you mix up your own spices you'll probably end up with less sodium than with what comes out of the seasoning jar. And sub olive oil for the canola. There's almost nothing that's not improved by olive oil.
When we roast potatoes we usually leave them in for an hour or so, stirring and flipping every 15 minutes. By the way, you can roast green beans in same way, I'm not sure of time though, just let them go until they're as done as you want.
THANK YOU FOR THIS! It sounds delicious. I can't wait to try it out.
