Stage 3 - 20 min.
Put in the oven for about 15-20 minutes.
Stage 4
Watching very carefully for coloration.
Stage 5 - 1 min.
Immediately after taking them out of the oven, unstick the almonds from the sheet with a wooden spatula and let them fall onto the worktop. They will still be a bit soft while hot, but not for long.
Separate them quickly as far as possible.
After a few minutes (or seconds maybe), the almonds will cool and harden. They will become very crunchy and are now ready.
