Place on a foil or parchment paper lined baking sheet and roast at 425 degrees for 10-15 minutes until the tomatoes just start to get soft and the onions start to brown and are soft. The last 2 minutes I added the pine nuts to the baking sheet to slightly roast. Then, remove and cool slightly chop the onions a bit more.
