    how to cut a bell pepper into strips with a red bell pepper video guide

    Once you try this new way to cut and seed a bell pepper, you’ll never go back! This new way to cut bell peppers into strips makes it easy to get all the “meat” off the pepper. It’s a great method to cut peppers for stir fry dishes and fajitas.

    Here’s the step-by-step guide to cutting bell peppers into strips

    If you’re cutting bell peppers into strips, turn the pepper upside down. Chop off the stem if needed, so the top of the pepper is flush on the cutting board.

    Then, work your way down each side of the pepper. Cut the outside skin of the pepper away from the seeds. In three to four chops, you’ll have large pieces of pepper to dice or slice into strips.

    Cutting bell peppers this way eliminates the pepper seeds, without creating a mess. It saves time and makes use of a lot more of the pepper.

    Check out this recipe for using leftover rice to make a veggie stir fry with rice.

      Oh wow, Thank you for sharing this. Glad that I was able to learn how to cut this. Been cooking for so many years as a housewife but I haven’t learn to cut it properly.

    Hey, I’m Jenna Passaro.

    I develop easy recipes that can transform your kitchen into a restaurant – and you into a true home chef.

      

    Where to start?

    Learn the secrets to smoking tasty Traeger recipes and making pizza at home. And cook amazing tri tip steak dinners.

    Or, fall in love with something new to cook with your air fryer, pellet smoker, BBQ grill, sous vide cooker, and more…

    You’ll notice, I kind of geek out over new cooking trends and tools!

    My story. Growing up, I didn’t learn to cook.

    (I was actually banned from cooking for years)

    And then in my 20’s I didn’t have to cook because my job as an event planner involved a lot of travel and it was easier to eat out. At the time, I was 100% positive that restaurant food would always taste better than cooking at home, and there was nothing I could do about it.

    Until I fell in love with a chef. He would come over and cook me delicious meals right in my own kitchen. My mind was blown.

    Since then, I’ve been on a mission to figure out easy ways to make restaurant style food at home and share it here on Sip Bite Go.

    Love to eat out and travel? I can totally relate. See my guide on where to eat in Portland, OR.

    Never in a million years did I imagine I’d ditch the 9-5 lifestyle in my late 20’s, move across the country on a whim, start a new life, start a food blog, and write a book.

    But here I am!

    See my book on Amazon: The Home Chef’s Sous Vide Cookbook.
