Getting data returned from a function with a fetch request

I am using js fetch request. I have this inside a function, when I call the function I want it to return my data.
This is not happening.
It would appear that the promise is not getting 'resolved'.

I clearly don't fully understand promises, so any advice on that in relation to the below example would be very useful.

Here is my sample code:

const test = async () => {
  const response = await fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos')
  const data = await response.json()
  return data;
}

console.log(test())

Output:

// [object promise]
{}

Question: How can I write the fetch request so that when I run test(), it returns me the json as I would expect?

Thank you
