Super easy! And, I also left out the peeling step. One very large potato for 2 with a bit less than 2T of olive oil. 20 to 25 min. cooking time total.
Even at 420, my sweet potatoes were soft and chewy rather than crisp. I cut them to about 1/4 inch and soaked them before baking. I used parchment paper and made sure they weren't touching. I extended the cooking time to about 35 minutes, until he pan nearest the burner started to burn. They never did get crisp. The result was slightly caramelized and tasty, but limp.
The worst use of 90 minutes in my cooking saga so far. Turned out terrible after all the effort. Soggy and inedible.
