Roasted Hazelnuts with ThymeJohn Kernick

You'll reach for this recipe again and again for its stunning simplicity and for how well it works with any aperitif. Roasting the hazelnuts in the oven results in a deep nuttiness, which is then brought firmly into the savory realm with a sprinkling of salt and thyme.

Cooks' note:

• Nuts can be roasted and skinned 1 day ahead and kept, covered, at room temperature.
