Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using an outdoor grill, make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Slice each orange in half crosswise so you have 8 halves in total. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut around the edge of each orange half to loosen the fruit from the peel but without removing it. This will make the oranges easier to eat once grilled.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the honey and butter. Microwave for 10-15 seconds until the butter is melted. Stir in the Grand Marnier, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg to create a glaze.
Brush each orange half generously with the glaze, ensuring the fruit is well coated.
Place the orange halves cut-side down on the hot grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the fruit begins to caramelize and char marks form. Be careful not to overcook to avoid making the fruit too mushy.
Flip the oranges over and brush the cut sides again with the glaze. Grill for an additional 2-3 minutes until the oranges are heated through and aromatic.
Remove the oranges from the grill and transfer them to serving plates. Optionally, garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and added freshness.
Serve the grilled oranges warm. For an extra indulgent treat, pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
