In this video, Brad Vigue, Executive Chef of Residence Dining at UBC Food Services, shares his tips to cut peppers in a quick and mess-free manner.

Hello! I'm Chef Brad. I'm the Executive Chef for Residence Dining. Today I am going to show you how to cut a pepper.

The most important thing is to ensure you're working with a flat surface. I will take the top off the pepper, and that way it's not going to roll away on me. Most people would cut the pepper in half, but you end up chasing the seeds all over your cutting board. This new method will show you how to cut a pepper so the seeds stay intact.

And that's how you cut a pepper!
