Cutting a bell pepper right can effectively remove the seeds and prepare the vegetable for a meal or as a nutrious snack. It can be a little tricky to cut a bell pepper. The vegetable itself is an odd shape and is hollow. There is also the need to remove all of the seeds so that the pepper is edible.

The most common way to cut the bell pepper is to cut it in strips, however, it can be chopped as well. This method is not the best for creating meals such as stuffed peppers as the pepper is cut in half for this technique and in stuffed peppers, the pepper is left whole.

Rinse the outside of the pepper off with warm water to rid it of any wax or pesticides that the might be on it. Dry the pepper off with a clean cloth or paper towel so that it does not slip away from the knife or out of the user's hand.

Grab the center part of the pepper that has the seed on it, gently. Carefully lift the center part back towards you until it snaps off of the pepper. Do this fo both halves of the pepper. If there are any large chunks of white tissue in the pepper, feel free to remove this as well.

Proceed to cut the pepper as per the directions of the recipe. This can be in strips or in a chopping style.
