Knowing how to dice a bell pepper can seem to be a difficult challenge because of a pepper’s odd shape. However, with a little planning and practice, dicing a bell pepper is very achievable. We will show you how to do it efficiently and with little to no waste. When you see “dice” in a recipe, you should aim for ¼” uniform cubes. However, you might prefer to alter those dimensions based on your preference. For example, when our family makes chili, we often include diced bell peppers. However, we dice them larger than 1/4″ because a chunky version is preferred.
Required materials:
sharp knife
bell pepper

1. Slice the pepper in half from top to bottom.
