Roast for 8 minutes, then remove the cherry tomatoes and reserve for garnish. Roast the remaining tomatoes, garlic and chilli for a further 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, place the parsley and parmesan in a bowl with the lemon juice and remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss gently to combine.
