THE BEST WAY TO CUT A BELL PEPPER

There are a few ways to cut bell pepper, but that all depend on what you are making. Here are the best top three ways to cut bell pepper.

  1. CUT OFF THE PEPPER TOP: This is my most preferred way to cut a bell pepper when it comes to stuffing them, especially this Spicy Chicken Stuffed Peppers recipe.
    • Simply cut off the top, scoop out the seeds, rinse and repeat until all of your peppers are cut.
  2. CUT THE PEPPER IN HALF, LENGTHWISE: This is another great way if you are stuffing peppers or if you want big chunks to dip, you can find my healthy buffalo chicken dip by clicking here.
    • Remove the stem by cutting as close to the bell pepper top as possible, then cut lengthwise down the middle, remove the seeds, rinse and repeat until all peppers are cut.
  3. CUT THE PEPPER IN QUARTERS: This is another great way for stuffing peppers especially if you are making Bell Pepper Nachos, you can find my recipe here.
    • Cut the pepper into quarters, discard any seeds on the inside, remove the top, rinse and repeat until all peppers are cut.
