| Next cut off the bottom. Save it to slice or dice, too. |  |
| Split the pepper from top to bottom with a single cut. |  |
| Pull out the pepper's core, and discard it. |  |
| Now just unfold the pepper like a book. Some peppers will break apart here, which is fine. |  |
| Cut the pepper into sections along the white bitter ribs, which you'll want to remove. This way they're easier to get at with a knife. |  |
| Hold the knife parallel to the cutting board and cut between the ribs and the red flesh below. |  |
| Now you're left with relatively flat sectioned pieces of bell pepper. Slice them into thick or thin strips, depending on the size dice you want. |  |
| To complete the dice, rotate the strips 90 degrees and slice them crosswise. |  |
Here's a fast, methodical way to dice a bell pepper. First, cut off the top end. (Once you're done dicing the full pepper, you can slice off the edges of the top to use.)
