Preheat the oven to 200°C fan/gas mark 6. Scrub the sweet potatoes, and cut into 2 cm cubes. Parboil for five minutes, drain and allow to steam dry.
Place the cubed sweet potatoes, oil, paprika and cumin into a roasting pan and give a good shake to coat evenly with the oil and spices. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, turning once, until golden. Add the spring onion and green chilli five minutes before the end of the cooking time.
Serve with a poached egg, chopped avocado, low-fat crème fraîche or soy yoghurt, a wedge of lime and a sprinkle of chopped coriander.
