Sugar-Glazed Roasted Carrots

If the carrots have very narrow tips, trim the thin ends; they scorch easily.

Serves 4 to 6.
Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds medium carrots , peeled and cut into 2 by 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter , melted
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
