When the peppers mature, most change red in color. Wait until the entire pepper changes before you pick it off the plant. Cut the pepper in half and scrape out the seeds. Place the seeds on a newspaper or screen to dry. It is better to use a screen to dry your seeds on, as it will give you adequate ventilation on both sides. Paper towels, paper plates, and newspapers tend to stick to the seeds making them harder to remove.
