Instructions

Heat oven to 350°. Toss parsnips, 1 tbsp. canola oil, the thyme, sliced shallot, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet; spread into an even layer.
Bake until parsnips are golden and tender, about 45 minutes; transfer mixture to a bowl.
Add bread crumbs, butter, salt, and pepper to baking sheet and toss to combine; bake until crisp, about 15 minutes, and transfer to another bowl.
Add 1⁄2 tbsp. canola oil, the hazelnuts, paprika, salt, and pepper to baking sheet and toss to combine; bake until toasted, about 15 minutes, and let cool.
Whisk minced shallot, the vinegar, beer, honey, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. While whisking, slowly drizzle in remaining 1⁄4 cup canola oil until dressing is emulsified; set one-third of dressing aside. Add radishes, frisée, lettuce, salt, and pepper to bowl and toss with dressing; spread salad on a serving platter.
Sprinkle with reserved parsnip mixture, bread crumbs, and hazelnuts. Crumble blue cheese over the top and drizzle with pumpkin seed oil.
Serve remaining dressing on the side.
