This simple and zesty stir fry is always a crowd favorite! It is loaded with the anticancer benefits of sweet potatoes [1] and Brussels sprouts [2], and tantalizing spicy flavors are sprinkled into every bite! This is another recipe that I would make in large batches! You will want to have leftovers for lunches, snacks, and dinners throughout the week!
