Alton Brown whipped up these Ginger Almonds on the recent "Live and Let Diet" episode of Good Eats. Although I'm a big fan of snacking on plain raw almonds, these are a tasty alternative if you get bored. The ginger is truly the most prominent flavor, but it's softened by the strong roasted flavor of the nut. It took me longer than 30-45 seconds to get the arbol chile to release scent; still, the chile flavor is not prominent in the final product. One of the commenters suggested using chili powder, which I may consider next time. Plus, that would make all of the ingredients, except the almonds, pantry staples. All in all, the worst thing about this recipe is that these are so addictive the quantity I'm consuming will counteract the "diet" nature of these.
