• Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Prepare the Garlic: While the oven is heating, take a whole head of garlic and cut off the top quarter to expose the cloves. You want to leave the cloves attached to the root end.
• Season the Garlic: Place the garlic head on a piece of aluminum foil large enough to wrap it up. Drizzle the olive oil over the exposed cloves. Sprinkle the dried thyme, ground cinnamon, salt, and black pepper over the garlic.
• Wrap and Roast: Wrap the garlic tightly in the aluminum foil, making a sealed packet. Place the packet on a baking sheet or oven-safe dish and put it in the preheated oven.
• Roast: Roast the garlic in the oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and golden brown. The exact time may vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on it after 30 minutes.
• Cool: Once the garlic is roasted, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Be careful when opening the foil packet, as there may be hot steam.

Serve: You can serve the cinnamon thyme roasted garlic with olive oil in a few different ways:

• Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and mash them into a paste. You can spread this on bread or use it as a dip for vegetables.
• Use the roasted garlic and olive oil as a flavorful drizzle for grilled meats or vegetables.
• Add the roasted garlic to sauces, soups, or salad dressings for extra depth of flavor.
