Preheat the oven to 375 F.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

In a small cup or bowl, combine the butter and garlic. Add the finely minced basil or parsley, if desired. Microwave until the butter has melted. Remove the butter mixture from the microwave and set aside.

Open the tube of crescent rolls and separate the triangles. Brush some of the butter and garlic mixture over a triangle. If desired, sprinkle some Parmesan cheese over the triangle. Flip the triangle over and roll it up, starting with the wide end (I do this on wax paper, which is a great way to keep the counter clean). Place the rolled crescent on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining crescent triangles.

Bake the crescent rolls for about 16 to 18 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
