How to cut a bell pepper
How do you cut yours? I always used to get seeds everywhere when I cut up a capsicum (or bell pepper as they're known elsewhere in the world), until I found this technique. No mess, no wastage – and best of all the seeds stay together and can be easily removed.
So all you need to do is:
- Cut the top and bottom off the bell pepper/ capsicum
- Next to one of the white sections, connecting the outside to the seeds, make a cut down
- Open out the side of the pepper/ capsicum, cutting away the pieces attached to the centre as you go
- Remove the seed section
- Put out the stalk from the top of the capsicum/ bell pepper
- Now you have three clean sections to cut up!

That’s funny when I saw the title I wasn’t even going to bother to read this glad I did though, as I have learned something.
