- 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
- ½ tsp fine sea salt, plus more to taste

While the cashews soak, preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange the halved Roma tomatoes cut-side up on a large rimmed baking sheet along with the quartered onion and unpeeled garlic cloves. Drizzle with 2 tbsp of the olive oil and season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
