1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 8–10 minutes until soft and golden.
3
Stir in the grated garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
4
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and add sugar (if using), salt, black pepper, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Reduce heat and simmer the sauce for about 5 minutes.
5
In a large baking dish, combine the drained chickpeas and sliced mushrooms. Pour the tomato sauce over them, add the diced bell peppers, and gently toss everything to coat evenly.
6
Bake uncovered at 400°F for about 45 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even roasting.
7
Remove from the oven, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top, and return to the oven. Bake for an additional 5–10 minutes until the cheese is soft and slightly golden.
8
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve warm. Serve as is or alongside crusty bread, rice, or a fresh salad.
