Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Spread cherry tomatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle salt and pepper over tomatoes and toss to coat evenly.
- Roast in the preheated oven until tomatoes blister and pop and skins start to char, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat remaining olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until translucent, 4 to 5 minutes.

Reduce stew to a simmer and add chickpeas. Add the cherry tomatoes and their juices. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
