Parsnips and Sweet Potatoes with Hazelnuts and Brown Butter

Intensely nutty hazelnuts echo the taste of butter cooked until rich golden brown. The deep flavor of both the toasted nuts and brown butter pairs well with the earthy root vegetables, whose high level of natural sugars caramelize when roasted. Fragrant thyme leaves impart an herbal taste to the dish.
