Answer:

Phrases

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's a revised version of the sentence that uses parallel construction with infinitive phrases:

"If you want to make the best brownies, you need to ensure that all ingredients are at room temperature, prepare the pans ahead of time, and set the oven to the required temperature."

In this revision, all three infinitive phrases are structured in a parallel way, starting with a verb in the present tense ("ensure," "prepare," "set"). This makes the sentence easier to read and gives it a better flow.
