Preheat the oven to 190Β°C (375Β°F).
Wash the cherry tomatoes and pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Place them in a medium-sized baking dish.
Drizzle the cherry tomatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, season with the salt and black pepper, and toss gently to coat.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. In a mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, minced garlic, grated parmesan cheese, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and stir it into the breadcrumb mixture.
Spread the breadcrumb topping evenly over the cherry tomatoes, ensuring all are well-covered.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the topping becomes golden brown and the tomatoes are bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish or appetizer, paired with crusty bread if desired.
