Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the cherry tomatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. Roast for 15 minutes until the tomatoes are blistered and fragrant.
2 cups cherry tomatoes
While the tomatoes roast, cut the cheddar cheese into uneven, rustic chunks using a chef's knife to enhance the haphazard aesthetic. Arrange the crackers and cheese on a large serving board, leaving space for the roasted tomatoes.
1 cup crackers, 8 oz sharp cheddar cheese
Once the cherry tomatoes are done, remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Then, scatter them loosely over the cheese and crackers on the board. Their juicy, blistered appearance adds color and texture variance.
2 cups cherry tomatoes
Garnish the board with additional casual touches if desired, such as slices of watermelon or a handful of nuts. Serve immediately to enjoy the mix of warm, roasted tomatoes with crunchy crackers and creamy cheese.
