Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Prepare 2 large pieces of foil.
Place half of the asparagus in the center of each foil piece. (We are making 2 foil packs because you don’t want the asparagus to overlap too much and you need room to fold the foil over.)
1 large bunch green asparagus
Drizzle the olive oil over the asparagus (1 tablespoon in each packet).
2 tablespoons olive oil
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, honey and mustard. Pour it over the asparagus evenly and season with salt and pepper. Add some orange slices on top.
¼ cup orange juice, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Fold the foil over the asparagus and seal the ends together.
Place the asparagus foil packs on the grill, close the lid and grill for 5 minutes.
Carefully flip the packs over and grill for another 5 minutes, or until the asparagus is fork-tender. The cooking time will depend on how thick the stalks are.
Open the foil packs carefully to let the steam out. Serve with the orange slices!

Honey substitute: You can substitute the honey with agave nectar to make this dish vegan.
Leftover storage: Refrigerate leftovers as soon as possible. Cover the dish with plastic wrap, or better yet, a beeswax wrap, then enjoy the grilled asparagus within 5 days.
Foil packets: I like to leave 'handles' on the ends of the foil packets to make it easier to transfer and flip them. You're basically just leaving a few inches unwrapped on each end and then twisting them or folding them over twice so that you have something to grab onto.
Reheating: Throw them on the grill again or frying pan to recapture the hot, smoky flavor.
