For the roasted garlic in the garlic herb butter: To make the roasted garlic, cut ¼ inch off from the top of the garlic. Drizzle olive oil all around it. Wrap in foil and bake at 400°F for ~45 minutes. For the butter, combine all of the ingredients together in a bowl until smooth, mashing the garlic pieces in the butter.

Notes

I used this recipe for making fried garlic. But I only sliced about 5-7 cloves, not 20 cloves.
Storage: with fresh herbs, it will last about a week. The cinnamon and sugar butter will last much longer.
