Peel the rutabaga and chop it into roughly 1-inch cubes.
Grease a large sheet pan with the 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the chopped rutabaga and coat it with the olive oil. Season the rutabaga with salt and pepper to taste.
Roast the rutabaga for 40 minutes, turning occasionally so that the pieces are evenly colored.
Once the rutabaga is soft, remove the pan from the oven and toss in the lemon juice, cumin seeds, fresh thyme, butter, and honey.
Place the rutabaga back into the oven for another 10 minutes.
Remove sheet pan from oven, transfer roasted rutabaga to a bowl, and serve immediately.
