Roasted Cauliflower "Steaks" With Kale Salsa Verde

Directions

1. Adjust the racks to the upper and lower-middle positions and heat oven to 400 degrees. Trim leaves and stem from cauliflower, leaving cores intact. Slice cauliflower from top to stem into eight 1/2"-thick slabs, and transfer to 2 parchment-lined baking sheets.
2. Coat "steaks" all over with 1/4 cup olive oil and season with 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Roast until cauliflower is golden brown and tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, add remaining ingredients plus 1/2 cup oil to a food processor and pulse until kale is coarsely chopped, 5 to 10 pulses. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. To serve, transfer roasted cauliflower to a platter and drizzle with salsa verde. Garnish with hazelnuts and marjoram before serving.
