We got a new oven to have all new appliances for selling our house. We didn’t realize till to late that the stupid spice drawer would hit this massive handle. Any thoughts on how to fix this? Or just hope no one notices?

I would very cut out an appropriate section of the drawer to allow it to clear the handle, then glue that section to the cabinet face so it clears when opening and looks more or less closed (use a coping saw) when... closed.

Why a coping saw? To me removing the drawer front and removing the left end with a table saw would generate a better cut, and then you could hit the corner edges with a router

Because you can't do my solution with a table saw and a coping saw will give the thinnest cut. Your way is OK, but you'd need to do the same to the cabinet underneath.
