I used to randomly hack away at bell peppers, ending up with oddly shaped slices covered in seeds. But a few years ago, I learned the trick to cutting bell peppers. Once you learn this method, you'll never go back.
Cut a ½-inch slice from the stem side of the pepper.
Cut a ½-inch slice from the bottom of the pepper.
With a paring knife, cut the 4 fins connecting the seed pod to the pepper. Remove the stem from the top part of the pepper. Now you have 3 seedless pepper sections to slice up any way you like!

It’s even easier if, once you have the top and bottom off, you slice through the side, then use your knife to cut through the ribs and remove the core. Then you have a sheet of pepper that is simple to slice or chop.
