Wrap that bulb in foil, making sure to seal it nice and tight. You can roast multiple heads of garlic at once, just wrap them all up in the same bundle.
Pop that bundle into the oven at 400ºF for about 40 minutes, or until the garlic is nice and soft. You can check on it by pricking the center clove with a knife or toothpick.
