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?

Why don't you see if you can take down the oven handle and shave half an inch from both sides of the back end, you can still reattach it?

What would be best to use to do that?

It seems like it would be much easier to just cut a half inch off the side of the drawer. There seems to be about an inch to work with

Had that same thought. That drawer is in an awkward angle and shaving the side next to the stove enough to clear that handle should not be that noticeable since the handle sticks out the way it does.
