Deseed and roughly chop the peppers and put into the frying pan with 1 tablespoon of oil.
Trim and slice the celery, spring onions and chilli, and add to the pan along with the sweetcorn and paprika.
Season with salt and pepper and keep things moving.
When cooked through, drain the sweet potatoes in a colander.
