Toss on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of cooking oil , half the Ranch Spice (all for 4), and ½ tsp salt (1 tsp for 4). Roast on top rack for ⏱️ 13 minutes (you'll add more to the sheet then). (It's natural for chickpeas to pop a bit while roasting.)

In a small bowl , whisk together mayonnaise , half the Dijon mustard , half the hot sauce , 1 tsp soy sauce (we sent more), ½ tsp garlic powder , juice from two lemon wedges, and a big pinch of pepper .

   Cut demi-baguette into ½-inch cubes. TIP: Slice baguette lengthwise, like you're making a sandwich, then cut each half into ½-inch strips to make cubes. In a medium bowl , toss bread with remaining garlic powder, 2 TBSP olive oil (4 TBSP for 4 servings), salt, and pepper until coated. Once chickpeas have roasted 13 minutes, remove sheet from the oven. Carefully push chickpeas to one side of the sheet. Spread bread out on empty side. (For 4, leave chickpeas roasting. Use a second sheet for bread; toast on the middle rack.) Return to top rack until croutons are golden brown, ⏱️ 5-7 minutes .
