For a deeper flavor, try using smoked paprika instead of chili powder. Adjust the amount of chili powder to your preference for spice. Store the cooled almonds in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Make sure the almonds are in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
