Lebanese fatteh is a study in contrast—cool yoghurt against warm toppings, crisp bread beneath soft layers. This roasted sweet potato version stays true to the traditional structure while replacing meat with caramelised vegetables. Each layer serves a purpose, from the cumin-scented roast to the tangy tahini yoghurt that binds everything together.
