Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the halved cherry tomatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil and 1/4 tsp salt on a baking sheet, spreading them in a single layer. Roast for 15–18 minutes, until the skins are blistered and the tomatoes are softened and beginning to caramelize at the edges.

While the tomatoes roast, combine the rice, water, and 1/2 tsp salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 15–18 minutes, until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
