Cutting and chopping bell peppers shouldn’t be a messy affair. However, it usually turns out that way due to all those little seeds that end up being scattered all over the counter. It seems like no matter how careful you are, some of them still manage to escape.

Luckily, there is one simple trick that can make bell pepper cutting a mess-free process. And it comes to us courtesy of TikTok user @nursewholikestocook.

How to Cut Bell Peppers Mess-Free

TikToker @nursewholikestocook recently shared a short clip in which she demonstrated how to chop bell peppers without dealing with seeds. She first makes two cuts on the top of the bell pepper to form a cross. This divides the pepper into four sections, making it simple to pull each and open the veggie entirely.

Now that the bell pepper is open, the part with seeds is exposed in the middle but left intact. After that, all you need to do is to cut each section with pepper flesh and throw away the rest. Check out the video below.
