The method according to claim 1 , wherein the holding time in the heat treatment is 1 minute or more and 30 minutes or less. 3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein an Al content of a chemical composition of a produced ferritic stainless steel sheet is 11.2% to 20.0%. 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein an Al content of a chemical composition of a produced ferritic stainless steel sheet is 11.2% to 20.0%. 5. A method of producing a ferritic stainless steel sheet comprising a chemical composition containing, in mass %, C: 0.030% or less, Si: 3.0% or less, Mn: 1.0% or less, P: 0.040% or less, S: 0.010% or less, Cr: 11.0% to 30.0%, Al: 10.7% to 20.0%, Ni: 0.05% to 0.50%, N: 0.020% or less, and at least one selected from the group consisting of Zr: 0.01% to 0.20% and Hf: 0.01% to 0.20%, and one or more selected from the group consisting of REM: 0.01% to 0.20%, Cu: 0.01% to 0.10%, Ti: 0.01% to 0.50%, Nb: 0.01% to 0.50%, V: 0.01% to 0.50%, Mo: 0.01% to 6.0%, W: 0.01% to 6.0%, B: 0.0001% to 0.0050%, Ca: 0.0002% to 0.0100%, and Mg: 0.0002% to 0.0100%, with a balance being Fe and inevitable impurities, the method comprising subjecting an Al or Al alloy coated stainless steel sheet comprising: a coating substrate; and an Al or Al alloy coated layer on a surface of the coating substrate, wherein the coating substrate is a ferritic stainless steel sheet having a chemical composition containing, in mass %, C: 0.030% or less, Si: 1.0% or less, Mn: 1.0% or less, P: 0.040% or less, S: 0.010% or less, Cr: 11.0% to 30.0%, Al: 2.5% to 6.5%, Ni: 0.05% to 0.50%, N: 0.020% or less, at least one selected from the group consisting of Zr: 0.01% to 0.20% and Hf: 0.01% to 0.20%, and one or more selected from the group consisting of REM: 0.01% to 0.20%, Cu: 0.01% to 0.10%, Ti: 0.01% to 0.50%, Nb: 0.01% to 0.50%, V: 0.01% to 0.50%, Mo: 0.01% to 6.0%, W: 0.01% to 6.0%, B: 0.0001% to 0.0050%, Ca: 0.0002% to 0.0100%, and Mg: 0.0002% to 0.0100%, with a balance being Fe and inevitable impurities, and a thickness and an Al content of the coating substrate and a thickness of the Al or Al alloy coated layer satisfy a relationship in the following expression (1): 8.0≤ C Al +30× t/T≤ 20.0  (1) where C Al is the Al content of the coating substrate in mass %, T is the thickness of the coating substrate in μm, and t is the thickness of the Al or Al alloy coated layer in μm, and, in the case where the Al or Al alloy coated layer is present on each of both sides of the coating substrate, is a total thickness of Al or Al alloy coated layers on the both sides of the coating substrate, to a heat treatment of holding in a temperature range of 600° C. to 1300° C. for 1 minute or more and 120 minutes or less in a vacuum of 1×10 −1 Pa or less or a non-oxidizing atmosphere, and wherein the number of times the heat treatment is performed is 1. 6.
