Smoky Spicy Sweet Pecans

About the Recipe:  Using the chickpea liquid (aquafaba) creates a light sweet spicy glaze on the pecans.  Add just a touch of smoky flavor with the paprika or use smoked sea salt for a stronger taste.  The crunchy pecans are delightful with a salad or enjoy them as a snack.
