Tips:
- To make the almonds more flavorful, use a variety of chili peppers, such as cayenne, red pepper flakes, and chipotle powder.
- If you don't have roasted garlic on hand, you can roast your own by wrapping a head of garlic in foil and baking it at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 45 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and golden brown.
- To save time, you can use pre-sliced almonds. However, if you have whole almonds, you can slice them yourself using a food processor or a sharp knife.
- Be careful not to burn the almonds. Keep a close eye on them while they are cooking and stir them frequently.
- Once the almonds are cooked, let them cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. This will help them stay fresh and crispy.
